Dr. Lee is a Ministry of Education National Chair Professor, and University Chair Professor of Biophysics at the National Central University. He was educated at the National Taiwan University (BSc, 1963) and McGill University (PhD, 1969). He worked at the Canadian 1963) Chalk River Research Laboratories as a theoretical physicist 1963) from 1968 to 1993, when he was senior research officer and director of the Center for Mathematical Sciences. In 1993 he returned to Taiwan, first chairing the physics department of the National Chung Hsing University from 1993 to 1995 then moving to the National Central University in 1995, where he is professor with the Department of Physics and, since 2006, founding head of the new the Graduate Institute of Systems Biology and Bioinformatics. He is the recipient of a number of academic awards and a Fellow of the Physical Society of ROC. Prior to 1997 his research areas was theoretical and mathematical physics. In 1997 he turned to theoretical and computational biology and helped the new National Center for Theoretical Sciences establish the ``Biology Inspired Theoretical Science'' (BITS) program, which promotes cross-disciplinary research involving the natural and life sciences. At NCU, he was the founding director of the Center for Complex Systems in 1996, which in 2003 spawned the Graduate Institute for Biophysics, the first of this field in Taiwan. In 2005 he led successful drives to found the Graduate Institute of Systems Biology and Bioinformatics, again the first of its kind in Taiwan, and the Center for Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering. His Computational Biology Laboratory conducts cross-disciplinary research on genomics, neural science, and systems biology.
