Meet Dr. Lee

Patient care is the central focus that drives my clinical practice, research endeavors, and educational efforts.

Dr. Hyeri Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of California, San Franscisco and a ABR Certified Medical Physicist. She received her BSc in Physics from Sogang University (South Korea) and finished her MS and PhD at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) focused on accelerator physics, followed by her clinical residency training in medical physics from Harvard Medical Physics Residency Program. Dr. Lee has previously worked at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Her research focuses on MR-only treatment for brain cancer patients and proton therapy. She is enthusiastic about mentoring and teaching physicists.
