  • Anita Goel is a Harvard-MIT trained physicist and physician in the United States. She is notable for her research at the nano-bio level, particularly for the study of molecular mechanics behind the reading and writing of information in DNA. She obtained her PhD from the Physics Department at Harvard University, under the mentorship of Nobel Prize winner Dudley R. Herschbach, with a thesis entitled Single Molecule Dynamics of Motor Enzymes Along DNA. Her physics honors thesis mentor at Stanford University was Nobel Laureate Steven Chu. She also holds an MD from the Harvard-MIT Joint Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST). Goel was named one of the world’s "top 35 science and technology innovators under the age of 35" by MIT’s Technology Review Magazine. She is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Nanobiosym, Inc. Her work at Nanobiosym has been recognized by a number of prestigious funding awards from the United States Department of Defense and DARPA, DTRA, and US Department of Energy. The recipient of numerous honors and an esteemed speaker at major international conferences, Goel has quickly emerged as a leading researcher in the field of nanobiophysics and nanobiotechnology. Goel is also a Fellow of the World Technology Network, a Fellow-at-Large of the Santa Fe Institute,an Adjunct Professor at the Beyond Institute for Fundamental Concepts in Physics,and an Associate of the Harvard Physics Department. She serves as a Trustee and Scientific Advisor to India-Nano, an organization devoted to bridging breakthrough advances in nanotechnology with the burgeoning US and Indian nanotech sectors. While an undergraduate at Stanford University, Goel envisioned a human bridge between the two largest democracies in the world: the U.S. and India. Inspired by this vision, Goel founded SETU (Sanskrit for “bridge”), an international conference and think tank composed of world leaders from academic, business, political, and humanitarian sectors dedicated to bridging these two democracies. Dr. Goel was invited by Senator John Kerry in April 2008 to testify as an expert witness in Congress on the Reauthorization of the National Nanotechnology Initiative. Goel also serves on the Board of Overseers for the Boston Museum of Science and is a Charter Member of TIE.
