    Dr. Lee is a transplant hepatologist who specializes in caring for patients before and after liver transplantation. His research focuses on innovative ways to improve health for patients with alcohol-associated liver disease, through: 1) early liver transplantation for alcohol-associated hepatitis; 2) disparities in access to healthcare; 3) health policy and advocacy; 4) novel therapeutics and translational study design. His research has resulted in first-author peer-reviewed publications in Annals of Internal Medicine, JAMA Internal Medicine, Hepatology, Gastroenterology, among others. His research has received national media coverage with NBC Nightly News, NPR, CNN, Forbes, Los Angeles Times, among others. This research has led to changes in national transplant policy, and has been incorporated into national guidelines across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
