Group members
Yoongyeong (Joy) Baek
Joy is a graduate student. She received her BS degree in Chemistry from Drexel University. She joined the Lee Lab in 2023. She studies the influence of diverse cellular membranes on the structure of α-synuclein aggregation and its implications for cellular pathology.
​
Tarek Olabi
Tarek is an undergraduate student in biological science. He joined the Lee Lab in 2023. He works on the interactions between lipids and Aβ42 aggregation.
​
Deep Patel
Deep is an undergraduate student in Chemistry/Biology. He joined the Lee Lab in 2023. He studies the effects of lipid membranes on α-synuclein fibril formation.
​
Pavel Savinskiy
Pavel is an undergraduate student in Chemical Engineering. He joined the Lee Lab in 2023. His study explores the relationship between lipid-derived Aβ42 oligomers and lipid bilayers.
​
Isabelle Baksh
Isabelle is an undergraduate student in Chemistry. She joined the Lee Lab in 2024. She examines how lipid-dependent polymorphic α-synuclein aggregation influences membrane permeability.
Positions
We are currently looking for graduate and undergraduate students with research interests in biophysical chemistry. Feel free to contact Dr. Lee (ml3784@drexel.edu) if you have interest.
