Charles Lee is a scientist and academic. He is the Robert Alvine Family Endowed Chair, professor, and a clinical cytogeneticist who has an active research program in the identification and characterization of structural genomic variants using advanced technology platforms. His laboratory was the first to describe genome-wide structural genomic variants (in the form of copy number variants (CNVs)) among humans [1] with the subsequent development of genomic maps [2] [3] that are used in the diagnoses of array-based genetic tests.
Lee graduated from the University of Alberta with a BSc in 1990, an MSc in 1993, and a PhD in 1996. He also received a Distinguished Alumni award in 2018. [4]
