Lee, Yan is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Seoul National University. Their research focuses on molecular-level interactions between biological systems and external signals, with an emphasis on developing artificial materials and synthetic molecules to control these interactions. The research group aims to create key molecular modules for efficient penetration into biosystems, selective response to signals, and overcoming limitations in biomaterials for clinical applications. Lee, Yan's work includes studies on polymers, biomaterials, and their applications in medicine and biotechnology.

Yan Lee is a researcher in the Department of Chemistry at Seoul National University, specializing in Biomaterials, Bioorganic Chemistry, and Materials Chemistry. Their work focuses on developing advanced nanocarriers for drug and gene delivery, with an emphasis on stimuli-responsive materials that enhance cellular uptake and endosomal escape. Lee's research includes the design of charge-conversion polyion complex micelles, biodegradable polymeric carriers, and hybrid nanoparticles for efficient gene delivery and siRNA-mediated gene knockdown. Their studies also explore the use of cationic dendrimers, hyperbranched polyamino esters, and zwitterionic polymers for biomedical applications, including nonviral gene therapy and anti-biofouling surfaces.
