Haeok Lee, PhD, RN, FAAN who is a Korean-American nurse scientist, received her doctor al degree from the Nursing Physiology Department, College of Nursing, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), in 1993, and her post doctor al training from College of Medicine, UCSF. Dr. Lee worked at Case Western Reserve University and University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. She has worked at the UMass Boston since 2008. Dr. Lee has established a long-term commitment to minority health, especially Asian American Pacific Islanders, as a community leader, community health educator, and community researcher, and all these services have become a foundation for her community-based participatory research. Dr. Lee's research addresses current health problems framed in the context of social, political, and economic settings, and her studies have improved racial and ethnic data and developed national health policies to address health disparities in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections and liver cancer among minorities. Dr. Lee's research, which is noteworthy for its theoretical base, is clearly filling the gap. Especially, Dr. Lee's research is beginning to have a favorable impact on national and international health policies and continuing education programs directed toward the global elimination of cervical and liver cancer-related health disparities in underserved and understudied populations.
李河玉博士，注册护士，美国护理科学院院士，韩裔美国护士科学家。1993年，她在旧金山加利福尼亚大学护理学院护理生理学系获得博士学位，并在该校医学院接受博士后培训。李博士曾在凯斯西储大学和科罗拉多大学健康科学中心工作。自2008年以来，她一直在马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校工作。作为社区领袖、社区健康教育者和社区研究员，李博士长期致力于少数族裔健康，尤其是亚太裔美国人的健康，所有这些服务都成为了她基于社区的参与性研究的基础。李博士的研究关注社会、政治和经济背景下的当前健康问题，她的研究改进了种族和族裔数据，并制定了国家卫生政策，以解决少数族裔中乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）感染和肝癌方面的健康差距。李博士的研究以其理论基础而值得关注，显然正在填补这一空白。特别是，李博士的研究开始对国家和国际卫生政策以及针对全球消除服务不足和研究不足人群中与宫颈癌和肝癌相关的健康差距的继续教育项目产生积极影响。
