Steven Lee

Director of Science

Steven Lee is a Professor of Biophysical chemistry, his research centres on developing new biophysical methods to answer fundamental biological questions, primarily through the use single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and multidimensional super-resolution imaging. Building on his training in some of the world’s foremost single-molecule fluorescence laboratories, including both Prof Sir David Klenerman (FRS MedSci) and Prof W.E Moerner (Nobel Prize Chemistry 2014), he manages a research team of talented researchers who all profoundly believe that molecules should be looked at one at a time. He is this 2017 recipient of the Marlow Award in Physical Chemistry from the Royal Society of Chemistry. Dr. Lee also co-hosts a scientific communication podcast, TheScienceShed, and can be contacted via twitter @SteveTheChemist.
