Kwangwon Lee is a Visiting Fellow at CAS from September to December 2018 upon invitation from Prof. Dr. Martha Merrow in the context of the CAS research focus "The How and Why of Microbiomes".

On 23 October 2018 he will give a lecture on "Fitness in a Microbe: How the Circadian Clock is Shaped by the Environment".
