Jeffrey K. Lee, MD, MPH
Dr. Jeffrey Lee is a gastroenterologist at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research and an associate professor at the Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine. His clinical practice focuses on general gastroenterology, colorectal cancer prevention and the management of complex colon polyps.
Dr. Lee’s research program uses large, community-based health care databases and informatics to investigate colorectal cancer epidemiology, improve screening and surveillance strategies, and evaluate noninvasive diagnostic tools. He has maintained continuous NCI funding since 2016, including a K07 career development award, an R37 MERIT grant to integrate polygenic risk scores into post-polypectomy risk stratification and a UG1 award supporting evaluation of multicancer early detection tests — establishing Kaiser Permanente Northern California as a member of the NCI Cancer Screening Research Network.
He also serves as the principal investigator for a PCORI-funded randomized trial comparing colonoscopy and FIT for surveillance in older adults with prior low-risk polyps. Dr. Lee, a dedicated educator, directs research for the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Gastroenterology Fellowship and contributes to several scientific committees within the AGA, ACG and WEO. He completed his internal medicine residency at the University of California, San Diego and his gastroenterology fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco.
