Lee is an infectious disease epidemiologist and applied bioinformatician, with a primary appointment in public health at the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services in Québec, Canada.

She has worked extensively on Mycobacterium tuberculosis – particularly among the Inuit in Northern Canada – as well as other pathogens of public health importance, including community and hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium abscessus and vancomycin-resistant enterococci, among others.
