Sandra Soo-Jin Lee, Ph.D., is an anthropologist who studies race, ethnicity and culture in science, technology and biomedicine. Her research programme focuses on the social and scientific meanings of "race" in human genetic variation research and their implications for understandings of human difference. Dr. Lee has conducted research on the social and ethical issues related to the DNA sampling of human populations and policies around the use of racial taxonomies by publicly funded cell repositories. Her current project entitled, Distributive Justice and Human Genetic Variation Research, includes a development of an anthropology of racial justice, with a particular focus on health disparities among groups. Dr. Lee is conducting a study of the emerging field of pharmacogenomics and its impact on the health status of historically racialized populations. Dr. Lee's awards include a Rockefeller Foundation Humanities Fellowship, National Institutes of Health National Research Service Award, and a National Human Genome Research Institute Career Development Award in Research Ethics.
