Biography
Dr. Jung Eun (Jay) Lee’s research focuses on symptom science, with an emphasis on fatigue symptoms among individuals living with chronic diseases. She is especially interested in developing novel symptom management interventions to improve health outcomes for underrepresented populations with chronic conditions.
Dr. Lee speaks regularly at national and international conferences, and received the American Thoracic Society Abstract Award in 2014, 2016, and 2017. Her latest project was to develop a chatbot-based self-management intervention for older adults living with multimorbidity. Her work has been supported by federal and foundation funding.
At URI, Dr. Lee advises undergraduate research fellows and has served as faculty mentor for five recipients of the Undergraduate Research and Innovation Grant. She also mentors multiple Ph.D. students in various departments, supporting their research in chronic disease management and health disparities.
Dr. Lee is an active member of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing and the Asian American Pacific Islander Nurses Association. She also serves on the Leadership Succession Committee for the Delta Upsilon at-Large Chapter of Sigma.
