Jason Lee directs the Heat Resilience and Performance Centre at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. He is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine since 2012 and serves in various national and international panels related to human performance and safety. Jason completed his 12-year tenure at the DSO National Laboratories in 2018 by directing the Human Performance Programme in his final appointment. He studies the physiological demands associated with passive and exertional 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. Knowledge gained from his research has also benefitted several local and international governmental and non-governmental agencies. Jason chaired the Scientific Committee on Thermal Factors at the International Commission on Occupational Health and currently co-chairs the Heat Injury Clinical Practice Guidelines at the Ministry of Health in Singapore. He is on the management committee at the Global Heat Health Information Network and leads the WHO-WMO GHHIN Southeast Asia Heat Health Hub to scale up efforts in managing the complex health risks posed by rising ambient temperatures.
