Tina Lee

Tina H. Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research focuses on mammalian cell biology, particularly organelle structure and dynamics, with an emphasis on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Her lab investigates how proteins such as Yip1A and atlastin influence ER structure and function, using techniques like RNA interference and fluorescence microscopy. Lee's work explores the relationship between ER structure and cellular processes, including its role in neurological disorders like hereditary spastic paraplegia. She is affiliated with the Mellon College of Science and maintains a lab website at https://www.cmu.edu/bio/people/faculty/lee.html.

Tina H Lee is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Organelle Structure, and Membrane Shaping. Her research explores the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, membrane dynamics, and organelle organization. Lee's work focuses on the role of protein kinases and phosphatases in modulating cellular signaling pathways, particularly in the context of mitosis and membrane trafficking. She investigates how proteins like cyclin, p34cdc2, and INH/PP2A regulate cell cycle transitions and how membrane tethering components facilitate organelle fusion and transport. Her studies also examine the structural and functional properties of proteins involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homotypic fusion and Golgi structure maintenance.
