Physiological -omics approaches to understanding stress resilience and longevity and support for professional resiliency
Resilience is very different than being numb. Resilience means you experience, you feel, you fail, you hurt. You fall. But, you keep going.

We strive to understand and improve human resilience through scientific research, but also through our leadership in mentoring and in community engagement.
Humans are incredibly adaptable and resilient. We research to identify “the how.”
Our research team comprises athletes, veterans, and scientists who are dedicated to scholarly productivity in the area of stress resilience. Our lab has demonstrated globally-recognized scholarly productivity in innovative ways to study questions about how multiple stressors affect not only overall performance and health, but also precise mechanisms of genomic and cellular resiliency.
Want to know more about performance and adaptation?
We do, too. Contribute to our mission, collaborate with us, and engage in our discussion and findings.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself and be lenient to everybody else.

Dr. Lee’s courses
Dr. Lee teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Exercise Science, Nutrition, Physiology, Genomics/Genetics, Biochemistry, and other topics related to stress physiology. Stay engaged to see lectures, syllabi, and other materials to support your learning.
“We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.”
