Abstract:
“Routine has never described my life,” reflects Sangeeta Bhatia, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, through a full-bodied laugh. The realization comes as she finishes recounting a vast and varied career as an inventor, entrepreneur, professor, activist, physician, and engineer. Sitting behind her desk at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she began as a graduate student and now runs her own lab and directs the Marble Center for Cancer Nanomedicine, her clutter-free office belies a mind overflowing with ideas and solutions for some of the most challenging questions at the nexus of medicine and engineering. The thread running through her research portfolio is the adaptation of technologies rooted in the computer industry for the advancement of human health. Her work began with liver disease and has expanded to include cancer and infectious disease.
