He uses minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to reduce risk and ease recovery for his patients.
In addition to patient care, Dr. Lee is a dedicated heart researcher. His recent studies have focused on optimizing treatment for atrial fibrillation, heart and lung transplantation, and valve disease, as well as improving organ preservation for lung transplantation. He is one of only a few cardiothoracic surgeons in the world publishing research on hybrid ablation and has built a leading hybrid ablation center in collaboration with Stanford Medicine electrophysiologists.
Dr. Lee has published his findings in leading medical journals, such as The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery and The Annals of Thoracic Surgery. He participates in drafting clinical guidelines and currently serves on the Cardiac Clinical Practice Standards Committee of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS). He has also written several book chapters on cardiac surgery techniques, complications, and innovations. He regularly shares his research and expertise around the world, from presenting at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions to speaking at the AATS Foundation programs and symposiums in Thailand and China.
Dr. Lee is a member of the prestigious AATS. He is also a member of the AHA and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. -
Bomi Lee
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab is dedicated to unraveling the complexities of the immune microenvironment and its role in the pathogenesis of pancreatic diseases, such as pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, innovative experimental and genetic animal models, as well as human specimens from donors, we aim to identify novel immune markers and potential therapeutic targets. Our goal is to advance the understanding of immune cells and their contributions to these diseases and to transl
