Following completion of specialist training, he completed an exchange fellowship at Kyushu University Hospital for imaged-enhanced endoscopy in 2018, and subsequently completed a two-year full-time overseas NRMC research training fellowship (2019-2021) at the Broad Institute, USA, under Prof Ramnik Xavier.
Dr Jonathan Lee has a keen interest in translational microbiome medicine, and drives the fecal microbiota transplant clinical service at the National University Hospital, Singapore. His research interest is in studying the role of microbiome associated with gastrointestinal diseases, whereby he previously used microbial metagenomics to prognosticate patients with inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal adenomatous polyps. He is currently a principle investigator for multiple ongoing basic and translational research in this field.
