Jason Lee (PhD, FACSM) is an Associate Professor at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. He co-leads the Human Potential Translational Research Programme and directs the Heat Resilience and Performance Centre. Jason is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine since 2012. He co-chairs the Heat Injury Clinical Practice Guidelines at the Ministry of Health, Singapore and chairs the Scientific Committee on Thermal Factors at the International Commission on Occupational Health. His main interests are in fluid balance, thermoregulation and heat mitigation strategies. He studies the physiological demands associated with heat stress and how humans adapt to ensure optimum performance and survival. A key outcome of his research is the formulation of a holistic heat management system. This is achieved through profiling the associated heat strain in humans under various settings, designing and evaluating heat mitigation strategies and finally translating the findings to policies and guidelines. Jason is on the management committee at the Global Heat Health Information Network and leads the WHO-WMO Southeast Asia Heat Health Hub to scale up efforts in managing the complex health risks posed by rising ambient temperatures.
