Non-invasive diagnostic techniques to monitor health of aquatic organisms and aquatic environments. Use of aquatic animal cell lines and invertebrate models.
Dr. Lee's research is funded by NSERC (www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca ) and her current research program funded under the Discovery grant initiatives, involves developing fish olfactory cell lines, while under the Strategic grants, the development of shrimp cell lines is a priority. She has many national and international collaborations and over her science career of 30+ years, her research interests involved the development and use of fish cell lines as integrative tools for research in basic science, ecotoxicology, and aquaculture. Most recently, she is being sought after for her knowledge in fish muscle cell line development and the “clean meat” technologies especially as it relates to in vitro fish meat production.
“I am a fish cell biologist and my expertise is in developing fish cell lines for biomedical and biotechnological applications. Our research cover areas in fish physiology, aquatic toxicology, fish parasitology, fish health, fish nutrition and fish endocrinology. We also do work with invertebrate species and attempts are being made at developing marine aquatic invertebrate cell lines. Most recently, we are also interested in developing cell lines from agriculturally important invertebrates such as bees for apicultural health studies”. ~ Lucy Lee
