Research Interests

Dr. Kee is currently running the Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging and Experimental Therapeutics Laboratory with research support from the American Heart Association and the National Institute of Medicine. His current research projects include novel techniques for identifying biomarkers in association with atherosclerosis, new molecular imaging tracer design for non-invasive imaging of the vulnerable plaques and non-invasive imaging techniques to diagnose and monitor biomarkers of high-risk coronary lesions. He also maintains a colony of Watanabe Hereditary Hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits, which is considered a useful pre-clinical model of atherosclerosis that resembles human atheroma.
