In addition to his role at NPF, Lee is also Chief Scientific Officer of Scian – The Institute for Scientific Policy Analysis. Scian and NPF are frequent collaborators in NPF/Institute for Scientific Policy Analysis projects(NPF/ISPA).  In these efforts NPF works with both grass-roots organizations and public/private policymakers as they wrestle with the stakes, facts and values influencing their decision-making. By promoting a high integrity process that includes key stakeholders, Scian and NPF support the goal of rational decision-making, especially where there are significant public interest implications. 

Lee’s work has been applied to many different fields and subjects, including business development, community building and problem solving, food and nutrition, as well as a wide variety of health policy matters. He has undertaken projects for organizations such as the World Health Organization, European Parliament, Sanofi-Aventis, Santech Institute, the Government of Namibia, Siemens, Medtronic, the Government of Canada, the Provinces of Alberta and Nova Scotia, numerous health enterprises, Internet companies, investment banks and venture capitalists.

As a member of international observer teams for a number of emerging-nation elections, Lee developed models and techniques used to identify election fraud and abuse – a critical aspect of international certification of elections. Lee continues his research activities related to the application of pattern recognition, multi-objective evolutionary optimization and game-theory algorithms to the policymaking process. He is also developing methods to optimize patient adherence and health improvement approaches as a core strategy for healthcare reform. He has specific domain expertise in healthcare IT systems, pharmaceutical and biological technologies, emerging infectious disease policy, food and nutrition, information services, communications technology, banking and finance, and international development.
