Biography

Lee qualified from Cambridge University in 2007 with an intercalated degree in Pharmacology. After a short period at a busy charity hospital, Lee completed two internships before securing funding for an entry level Wellcome Trust Veterinary Training Fellowship with the Price/Lanyon group at the RVC to work towards a Masters by Research (MRes). The success of this research springboarded Lee to secure the next stage of Wellcome Trust funding, an Integrated Training Fellowship, which provided six years of support towards a PhD and advanced clinical residency training which was completed at the University of Bristol.

Lee’s PhD was awarded in 2013 and focussed on how ageing affects bone’s ability to sense and respond to external mechanical stimuli using a variety of in vivo and in vitro murine models to recapitulate a model of human osteoporosis leading. Lee then completed his small animal surgery residency at Langford Vets culminating in him becoming a diplomate of the ECVS and an RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery since 2017.

Lee is very invested in veterinary undergraduate and post-graduate education particularly in the field of surgery. Lee is Clinical Lead for Soft Tissue Surgery at Langford Vets offering a busy specialist-led referral service. Lee also runs the Langford Academy which provides a variety of veterinary and veterinary nurse educational opportunities.
