Sang-Seop Lee is a researcher in the Department of Microbiology, Konyang University College of Medicine, working on redox and nitrosative biology in natural-product pharmacology. His experimental work centres on NOX–NOS crosstalk and the partitioning of nitric oxide between signalling and nitrative fates, with lead-author reports in journals including Redox Biology, Free Radical Biology and Medicine, and Phytomedicine, and studies of marine- and plant-derived bioactive materials in macrophage and murine inflammation models. This work has also led him to a broader methodological question: how complex and sometimes discordant biological evidence can be integrated reliably across experiments, models, and stages of drug development. From this question, a second line of research has emerged around AI-enabled evidence integration for translational drug discovery. He was first author and lead contact of an Editor-in-Chief-invited Opinion in Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, for which he also contributed the issue cover concept and was featured in the journal's “Meet the First Authors” series. Building on this line of work, further invited and methodological contributions are currently under discussion with editorial teams at venues including Science Partner Journals, Cell Press, and Molecular Aspects of Medicine.
