Dr Lee completed his six-year medical and surgical degree at the University of New South Wales, and was awarded the Tom Gibian Prize and Foundation Year Graduates Medal. Subsequently he was granted a full Kennedy Scholarship to undertake a four-year Doctorate in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Oxford where he discovered novel alarmin pathways, and their abilities to quell aberrant inflammation, induce cancer remission, and reactivate youthful physiology.

Upon returning to Australia, he helped build the RNSH Clinical and Translational Dermatology Laboratory, where he is now the Head of Research. He spent six years training in Clinical Dermatology, with a focus on advanced skin cancer management, and treating eczema and psoriasis with precision medicines. He then undertook further subspecialised training in Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology for modern therapies of acne, rosacea, skin ageing, and skin cancer. He is open to all patients.

Dr Lee consults privately at Sydney Dermatology, Sutherland Shire Dermatology, and Drummoyne Dermatology.
