Steven F. Lee is currently a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the chemistry department. He received his D. Phil in physical chemistry from the University of Sussex in 2009 in the laboratory of Dr. Mark Osborne, working on photodynamics of single quantum dots. From 2009-2011 he worked as a post-doctoral scholar in the laboratory of Prof. W.E. Moerner at Stanford University, USA, where he developed super-resolution imaging techniques to better understand spatial patterning of regulatory proteins in live bacteria. His current research interests involve "building new tools to study biomolecules" primarily using single-molecule fluorescence imaging applied to important biological questions, including visualising nuclear processes in fission yeast, and understanding the molecular origins of human adaptive immunity.
