Chulbom Lee obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees (1988 and 1990) from Seoul National University, where his advisor was Professor Eun Lee.

After military service, he came back to SNU as a Research Associate at the Institute of Basic Sciences.

In 1992, he was selected as a National Merit Scholar in Chemistry by the Korean Ministry of Education and went to Stanford University for his Ph.D. studies under the guidance of Professor Barry M. Trost.

In 1998, he moved to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to work with Professor Samuel J. Danishefsky as a U.S. Army Breast Cancer Research Fellow.

Upon completing his postdoctoral studies in 2001, he joined the faculty of the Chemistry Department of Princeton University as Assistant Professor.

In 2008, he moved back to his alma mater, SNU. He is currently Associate Chair of the Department while serving as Vice President of the Korean Chemical Society and the Korean Society of Organic Synthesis.

His research is focused on the development of novel reactions and strategies for chemical synthesis.
