Charles Lee is a Korean-Canadian scientist and academic. He is the Robert Alvine Family Endowed Chair, professor, and a clinical cytogeneticist who has an active research program in the identification and characterization of structural genomic variants using advanced technology platforms. His laboratory was the first to describe genome-wide structural genomic variants (in the form of copy number variants (CNVs)) among humans[1] with the subsequent development of genomic maps[2][3] that are used in the diagnoses of array-based genetic tests.

Education

Lee graduated from the University of Alberta with a BSc in 1990, an MSc in 1993, and a PhD in 1996. He also received a Distinguished Alumni award in 2018.[4] BS in Genetics, University of Alberta
