The UNC School of Pharmacy has promoted Andrew Lee, PhD, to associate professor with tenure.
Lee joined the School’s Division of Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Products as an assistant professor in March 2001. He also holds a joint appointment in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in the School of Medicine. He received his BA in chemistry from Pomona College in 1989 and his PhD in chemistry from the University of California Berkeley in 1996. Before coming to UNC, Lee was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania and the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Lee’s research uses nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study the relationship between protein structure and dynamics and how these respond to perturbations such as binding (natural ligands or drugs) and mutation (evolution). He has received nearly $2.3 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation to support his work.
Lee is the director of the state-of-the-art NMR Facility at the School, which serves research groups from across the UNC campus. He received the School’s Academic Excellence in Teaching Award and the Junior Faculty IBM Fund Award in 2006.
