Junghun Lee is a senior scientist and R&D leader with nine years of hands-on experience developing gene therapy platforms (AAV, mRNA/LNP, plasmid DNA) from target discovery through IND-enabling studies. He has led multidisciplinary teams in both industry and academia, driving preclinical programs, animal studies, molecular analysis, and complex collaborations that resulted in publications and patents. Currently developing AAV-based therapies for metabolic disease at Fractyl Health, he previously served as R&D director and head of R&D roles where he scaled programs and mentored scientists across stages of development. Trained with a PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology from Seoul National University, Junghun combines deep technical expertise with practical program leadership—an uncommon blend that accelerates translation from discovery to clinic.
