Grace Lee, MD, MPH
Dr. Lee is Assistant Professor of Population Medicine and Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute. She is also Associate Medical Director of Infection Control and Associate Physician in Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston. She received her MD at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Master of Public Health at Harvard School of Public Health. She completed her pediatric residency, subspecialty training in Infectious Diseases, and an Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality post-doctoral fellowship at Children's Hospital Boston.
Dr. Lee's research focuses on vaccine economics, vaccine safety, infectious disease epidemiology and infection control and prevention. She is currently principal investigator or co-investigator on AHRQ, NIH, HHS and CDC-funded studies. Dr. Lee leads several key research projects that include: monitoring H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccine safety in near real-time for the Vaccine Safety Datalink and Post-Licensure Rapid Immunization Safety Monitoring systems, describing the influenza vaccine financing and delivery system in the U.S., examining the impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccination on carriage, disease and population genetics in young children, conducting cost-effectiveness analyses of interventions to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and evaluating the health and economic impact of Medicare's policy of nonpayment for HAIs. She is currently enrolling hospitals in the Preventing Avoidable Infectious Complications by Adjusting Payment (PAICAP) study.
