About Me
Donghoon Lee is an Assistant Professor of the Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences and the Department of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He currently serves as the Director of Single Cell Neurogenomics Group at the Center for Disease Neurogenomics (CDN).
His research is focused on computational psychiatric genomics. Leveraging the wealth of single-nucleus and functional genomic data, he is developing new methodologies for understanding the genetic basis of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
Prior to joining the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Dr. Lee received his doctorate degree and postdoctoral training from Yale University.
