Dongtak Lee, PhD

Dongtak Lee, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Incheon National University. His research focuses on the development of nanomedicine-based drug delivery platforms to treat neurological disorders. He completed his PhD in the department of biomedical engineering at Korea University and pursued postdoctoral training at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, where he developed engineered lipid nanoparticles for delivering gene therapy across blood-brain barrier. Dr. Lee has published extensively on nanoparticle surface engineering, biosensing, and brain-targeted delivery systems. His interdisciplinary work bridges material science, biology, and clinical applications, contributing to the translation of advanced nanocarriers into therapeutic strategies. Dr. Lee collaborates closely with clinicians and scientists globally to address unmet medical needs in gene and biologics delivery.
