Beth S. Lee

Beth S. Lee studies how bone cells (such as osteoblasts, which build bone, and osteoclasts, which break it down) are controlled at the molecular level, with particular focus on motor proteins called myosins (e.g., Myosin X, MYO9B) and their role in bone formation, remodeling, and mechanical responses. Her work combines cell biology, biomechanics, and animal models to understand conditions like osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. This research is relevant to students interested in skeletal biology, cell signaling, and the physical mechanics of bone tissue.

Publication output has been steady but modest over the last decade, averaging fewer than two papers per year with no clear upward or downward trend.
