About

Kimberly A. Lee is a proteomics researcher specializing in post-translational modification (PTM) profiling, with a particular focus on ubiquitylation and phosphoproteomics. Her work sits at the intersection of analytical chemistry and cell biology, where she develops and refines high-throughput methodologies that enable researchers to map and quantify protein modifications at unprecedented scale and depth. Lee's most recognized contribution is her work on UbiFast, an automated, multiplexed approach to ubiquitin enrichment that allows sensitive, site-specific identification of ubiquitylation events across complex biological samples. By automating this workflow, she significantly increased throughput while maintaining analytical rigor — a critical advance for laboratories studying ubiquitin-dependent processes in disease. This work has accumulated over 23 citations since its 2021 publication, reflecting its rapid adoption by the proteomics community. More recently, Lee contributed to the development of a multipathway phosphopeptide standard designed to harmonize phosphoproteomics data across multiple laboratories, addressing a longstanding reproducibility challenge in the field. Her commitment to methodological standardization underscores a broader mission: making quantitative proteomics more reliable, accessible, and comparable — empowering researchers worldwide to draw meaningful biological conclusions from complex PTM datasets.
