Biography
Tatia Lee is the Chair Professor of Psychological Science and Clinical Psychology, and the May Endowed Professor in Neuropsychology at The University of Hong Kong. Her work centres on unravelling normal and pathological neurocognitive and affective processes, with a focus on how neuroplastic mechanisms support, maintain, and protect cognitive and affective functioning; and how neuropsychological processes underpinning psychological resilience buffer against stress, mood disturbances, and age-related decline, across the lifespan and in diverse at-risk populations and contexts. Her research spans from fundamental mechanisms to clinical applications, contributing to early detection, prevention, and intervention for depression and age-related neurodegenerative conditions.
