Tien-Ching Lee
Affiliate, Orthopaedic Surgery
Visiting Scholar, Orthopaedic SurgeryBioI am an orthopedic surgeon and assistant professor at Kaohsiung Medical University (KMU), serving in the Department of Orthopaedics at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Taiwan. I completed my Ph.D. at KMU in 2023, focusing on orthopedic research and innovation.
My clinical expertise and research interests encompass orthopedic trauma, hand surgery, osteoporosis, and fracture repair. My work has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the 2018 Merit Paper Award from the Taiwanese Osteoporosis Association and the 2019 AOTAP Scientific Congress Merit Paper Award.
As part of a dynamic research team, I have contributed to significant medical device innovations. Our developments include a novel targeting device for screw positioning and an advanced surgical tool for carpal tunnel release. These innovations have secured patents across multiple jurisdictions, including the United States, Taiwan, China, European nations, and Singapore. Our achievements have been honored with the Taiwan National Innovation Award for four consecutive years (2019, 2020, 2022, and 2024).
Currently, I am a visiting scholar in Dr. Yang's laboratory at Stanford University, where I am expanding my expertise in innovation, research, and development while fostering international collaborations. This aligns with my commitment to advancing orthopedic care through global knowledge exchange and professional networking. -
William Makana Lee
Graduate, Medicine, School of Medicine
BioWilliam Lee is a fourth-year medical student at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) pursuing a career in Integrated Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. His clinical interests include microsurgery, craniofacial reconstruction, and innovation in surgical education. As President of the EVMS Plastic Surgery Interest Group, he founded a funded summer research program, developed educational initiatives for medical students, and expanded access to mentorship and research opportunities. His research, which focuses on surgical education, workforce trends, and emerging technologies such as augmented and virtual reality, has been presented at regional and national meetings. He was awarded the EVMS Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery 2025 Leadership Award and the 2026 Research Award for his work and commitment. William also selected as a 2025 AAPS Cannon Scholar. Before medical school, William graduated an Echols Scholar from the University of Virginia (2023) and served as a volunteer EMT for five years, an experience that continues to shape his patient-centered approach to medicine. Outside of medicine, he enjoys tennis, long-distance running, and mentoring students pursuing careers in surgery.

Yunkyeong Lee
Postdoctoral Scholar, Endocrinology and Metabolism
BioYun is a postdoctoral research scholar in the Translational Genomics of Diabetes Laboratory under the mentorship of Dr. Anna Gloyn. Since joining the lab in August 2022, she has been investigating type 2 diabetes (T2D) susceptible genes and their molecular mechanisms in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and the development of T2D. Her primary focus is on how T2D effector transcripts alter autophagy/mitophagy pathways in human pancreatic β-cells, contributing to β-cell failure, mitochondrial dysfunction, and T2D pathology. She also investigated the impact of genetic mutations underlying neonatal diabetes using CRISPR HDR knockin genome editing in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) models and their derivatives.
During her PhD, she explored the role of an epigenetic regulator and its molecular machinery in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now termed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In parallel, she studied the interplay between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated unfolded protein response (UPR) signalling and autophagy, and examined how these processes are modulated by bioactive plant extracts in various cellular contexts.
She is particularly interested in exploring inter-organ communication, such as pancreas-liver crosstalk, and how these interactions influence systemic metabolism and contribute to the onset and progression of T2D, along with its complications. Her long-term research goal is to advance our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving T2D and to identify novel therapeutic targets and strategies. -

John Leikauf
Clinical Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in better understanding the heterogeneous cognitive and electrophysiological abnormalities in children with ADHD and the many other conditions that commonly co-occur with ADHD. The long-term goal is to be able to better target treatments to specific deficits in order to promote long-term health and well-being and improve outcomes that matter to individuals and families suffering from these disorders.
