Sunghee Lee, Ph.D., is Board of Trustees Endowed Professor of Science and Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Iona University. Her research focuses on membrane biophysical chemistry, droplet interface bilayers, lipid membranes, and molecular interactions at soft interfaces.

Project Symphony is the name of her research group, reflecting the idea that all members work together in harmony toward shared scientific goals. The group’s overarching aim is to deepen fundamental understanding of cell membranes and to elucidate how bioactive molecules interact with and modulate membrane structure and function. They work at the interface of chemistry, biology, physics, and medicine, in a highly dynamic, interdisciplinary environment. Project Symphony welcomes team members who bring passion for innovation, a commitment to excellence, a relentless drive to solve challenging problems, and a genuine ability to collaborate.
