[2] She was a postdoc in the laboratory of Ed Harlow, first at Cold Spring Harbor and then at Massachusetts General Hospital, before joining the faculty at MIT in 1994.
[3] Lees’ research is focused on identifying the proteins and pathways that play a key role in tumorigenicity and establishing the mechanism of their action in both normal and tumor cells.
[1] Her lab at MIT uses a combination of molecular and cellular analyses and mutant mouse models.
[4] Lees studies how the E2F family of mammalian transcription factors contributes to the regulation of cellular proliferation during normal development and tumorigenesis.
[1] Her work has shown that certain E2Fs, despite substantial biochemical similarities, play radically different biological roles.
