Dr Jason Lee, PhD, FACSM, obtained his first degree (Sports and Exercise Science - 1st Class Honours) from Loughborough University, UK. Following the award of G V Sibley Memorial Prize for topping the undergraduate programme, he stayed on to complete a PhD in Exercise Physiology under sponsorship from the UK Overseas Research Scholarship and Faculty Studentship.

Jason is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and member of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences, the Physiological Society and the Professionals in Nutrition for Exercise and Sport. He sits on the Editorial Board of the Extreme Physiology & Medicine journal and is a reviewer for more than 15 international peer-reviewed journals.

Capitalising his experience as a Commando Officer in the Singapore Armed Forces, Jason applies his military knowledge to his current work by functioning as the Lead Physiologist for the Defence Medical and Environmental Research Institute, DSO National Laboratories. He has sat in various expert panels in the Singapore Armed Forces, and other national and international boards pertaining to heat stress and fluid balance. He is currently a member of the Commando Formation Safety Advisory Board and the Singapore Sports Institute Institutional Review Board.

Jason’s main research interests are in fluid balance, thermoregulation and mitigation strategies for improving human performance in the heat. He investigates the physiological demands associated with extreme exposures and learns how the humans adapt to ensure survival and optimal performance.
