Dr. Sanghee Lee received her PhD from the Department of Urology and Cellular and Molecular Biology Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2015. Her thesis mentor was Dr. Wade Bushman and she described neural cross-talk between the bladder and prostate as well as prostate inflammation-induced functional changes in urinary bladder of adult mice. As a postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Lee studied neurogenic bladder dysfunction in a murine model of multiple sclerosis in the laboratory of Dr. Anna Malykhina at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. In 2017, Dr. Lee joined the University of California San Diego (UCSD) as the first Neuro-Urology Fellow with a joint appointment in the UCSD Dept. of Urology and at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego. Her research advisory committee members are Dr. Christina Jamieson (PI), Dr. George Chiang, Dr. Yahir Santiago-Lastra, Dr. Todd Coleman and Dr. Tony Yaksh. Her current research interests include the mechanisms of metastasis and pain in bone metastatic prostate cancer.
