Summary
Teresa Lee is a senior scientist with a PhD in biochemistry and four years of postdoctoral and industry experience translating molecular insights into therapeutic strategies for glioblastoma. She specializes in DNA repair biology, nanoparticle drug delivery, and intracranial in vivo models, combining rigorous biomedical engineering approaches with hands-on rodent studies. At Yale she developed nanoparticle-encapsulated drugs paired with direct intracranial delivery to overcome blood–brain barrier challenges, and she now advances related programs at Aprea Therapeutics. Teresa balances deep mechanistic expertise with translational focus, moving projects from pathway discovery to delivery optimization. Based in Barcelona and originally trained in Canada, she brings an international perspective and a track record of integrating chemistry, formulation, and surgical delivery techniques. An unusual strength is her fluency in both therapeutic radiology principles and nanoparticle engineering, enabling cross-disciplinary solutions for hard-to-treat brain tumors.
