Through Dr. Vito Quatela’s HUGS Foundation, Dr. Lee has continued her international work by reconstructing the ears of patients with microtia, a congenital defect of the ear, in Guatemala, Ecuador, and Vietnam.

Dr. Lee has collaborated on various biomedical research projects, including molecular genetics, during her time researching at Rockefeller University in New York. During her residency, she was selected twice to present her research projects at the Triological Society Combined Sections Meeting.
