Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarissa Lee is a cancer bioinformatician and Biostatistician III at Duke with 11 years of experience translating omics data into reproducible insights that inform basic and translational cancer research. She develops tools and curated datasets to test eco-evolutionary hypotheses across diverse disease contexts—including melanoma, breast-to-brain metastases, prostate cancer, and graft-versus-host disease—while managing data submissions to resources like dbGaP and HTAN. Her technical breadth spans 16S amplicon, single-cell, bulk RNA, whole-genome, and time-series analyses, and she prioritizes transparent, reproducible pipelines. Trained as an ecologist (PhD, Duke) with a strong track record in microbiome and plant–microbe studies, she brings an unusual combination of ecological thinking to tumor evolution problems and mentorship experience from academia to core-facility settings.
