He did his undergraduate work (B.S.) in Physical Education at Kyungpook National University in South Korea.
Dr. Lee teaches Clinical Pathophysiology, Applied Exercise Physiology and Cardiovascular pulmonary PT in Doctor of Physical Therapy program, College of Health Science and Human Service at the University of Toledo-Health Science Campus. The area of his research interest is metabolic adaptation in skeletal muscle and other vital organs in the body in response to exercise training with focus on glucose transport mediated by insulin and muscle contraction and fat metabolism. His research effort is directed to better understanding of intracellular mechanisms underlying training-induced improvement in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, which is essential for the prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes mellitus.
