Resident Physician
Harvard Radiation Oncology Program
Woburn, Massachusetts, United States
Katie Lee, MD, PhD is currently a senior resident in the Harvard Radiation Oncology Program. She attended the University of Minnesota for her undergraduate studies where she received degrees in Biochemistry and Chemistry. Prior to matriculating into the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD program, she attended the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar where she received a master’s degree in immunology and studied metabolic mechanisms of immune privilege in embryonic stem cells. While at Harvard Medical School, her PhD dissertation in Dr. Wolfram Goessling’s laboratory investigated how growth pathways can be co-opted in cancer using the zebrafish as a model organism. She discovered that the Hippo pathway, a key regulator of organ size and tumorigenesis, reprograms nitrogen and glucose metabolism in liver cancer to support unfettered cellular proliferation. She completed a preliminary internship in Internal Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and is now a 5th year resident in the combined Harvard Radiation Oncology Program. Her current research interests are in early phase clinical trials and translational correlative studies, specifically in developing novel tools in functional and metabolic imaging and biomarkers for prognostication, treatment monitoring and novel therapeutic targets.
