Ian Lee, B.S.

Ian graduated from UCLA in 2026 with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics. He developed an interest in neurology after volunteering in a stroke unit at a hospital and learning about various neurological conditions while shadowing general and stroke neurologists. After taking an undergraduate neurobiology laboratory course, his fascination with the brain developed into an interest in neurobiology research. This led him to join the Bitan Lab in the Spring of 2026. He now works on identifying biomarkers of Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonian disorders.
