Suzee Lee, MD
Dr. Suzee Lee is a Professor of Neurology, the Director of the Dementia Imaging Genetics Lab, and the Director of the Visiting Scholars Program at the UCSF Weill Institute of Neuroscience’s Memory and Aging Center. Dr. Lee is a behavioral neurologist who received a BA degree in English and American Literature and Language from Harvard College and an MD degree from the McGill Faculty of Medicine. She completed her internship at the Brown University Alport School of Medicine, neurology residency at Mount Sinai Hospital, and a fellowship in behavioral neurology with Dr. Bruce Miller at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center.
Dr. Lee is a principal investigator on studies that develop neuroimaging techniques to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of preclinical and early-stage genetic neurodegenerative diseases including frontotemporal dementia and other tau-spectrum disorders. Her goals are to identify the influence of genetic variants on neurodegenerative syndromes and to integrate neuroimaging and biofluid markers to create frameworks for modeling neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disease trajectories. Outside the lab, she cares for patients in her clinic at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center.
