Tzong-Shyuan Lee

Dr. Tzong-Shyuan Lee serves as a Professor at the Department of Physiology, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. He received a Ph.D. degree at 2002, National Defense University, Taipei, Taiwan. His areas of expertise include pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases and physiology of vascular cells. Dr. Lee is interested in the molecular mechanism of early-stage atherosclerosis including endothelial dysfunction and the formation of macrophage foam cells in recent years. By use of clinical therapeutic reagents, food nutrition, and traditional herbal medicine in vitro and in vivo, Dr. Lee's team have discovered several crucial molecules and important molecular mechanisms in the promotion of endothelial function and cholesterol clearance of macrophages.
