"Hello Hello! I’m Lawson Lee, a biochemistry major at the University of Arizona. I’m grateful to work as an undergraduate researcher in the Jeffrey Pyun Research Group, where I study sulfur-based polymers and their potential applications in infrared optics. That experience has pushed me to stay curious about how chemistry can be translated into real-world applications, including materials used in healthcare.
Outside of the lab, I’m thankful to be involved with Flying Samaritans in Agua Prieta, where I support patient care and outreach in underserved communities. Those experiences have played a major role in shaping my interest in dentistry and have shown me the impact of combining skill with genuine care for people.
I’m excited to continue building a path in dentistry that brings together science, service, and patient care in a meaningful way." ~ Lawson
