Sangeeta N. Bhatia, M.D., Ph.D. (b. 1968) is an Indian American biological engineer and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. Bhatia's research investigates applications of micro- and nano-technology for tissue repair and regeneration. In 2003, she was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2003 Young Innovator: Sangeeta Bhatia, 35 )〕 She was also named a "Scientist to Watch" by ''The Scientist'' in 2006, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2008 HHMI Investigators )〕 Bhatia co-authored the first undergraduate textbook on tissue engineering and was an editor for two books, ''Microdevices in Biology and Medicine'' and ''Biosensing''. ==Background== Bhatia's parents emigrated from India to Boston, Massachusetts; her father was an engineer and her mother was one of the first women to receive an MBA in India. She was motivated to become an engineer after her 10th grade biology class and a trip with her father into an MIT lab to see a demonstration of an ultrasound machine for cancer treatment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Many Sides of Sangeeta Bhatia )〕 She studied bioengineering at Brown University where she joined a research group studying artificial organs which convinced her to pursue graduate study the field.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HHMI Investigators: Sangeeta N. Bhatia, M.D., Ph.D. )〕 After graduating with honors in 1990,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=People: Sangeeta N.

She was later accepted to the HST M.D.-Ph.D. program where she was advised by Mehmet Toner and Martin Yarmush, received the Ph.D. in 1997 and M.D. in 1999, and completed postdoctoral training at Massachusetts General Hospital.〔〔 Bhatia joined the faculty at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in 1999 and rose to the rank of associate professor. While at UCSD, Bhatia was awarded a Packard Fellowship, was named 2001 "Teacher of the Year" in the Bioengineering Department at the Jacobs School of Engineering,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Winter 2002 Newsletter )〕 and was named a Young Innovator under 35 by ''Technology Review'' in 2003.〔 In 2005, she left UCSD and joined the MIT faculty in the Division of Health Sciences & Technology and Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Bhatia was named a "Scientist to Watch" by ''The Scientist'' in 2006 and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator in 2008.〔〔 The Brown University School of Engineering presented Bhatia its (BEAM (Brown Engineering Alumni Medal) Award ) in 2011. Bhatia currently directs the Laboratory for Multiscale Regenerative Technologies and is affiliated with Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Faculty: Sangeeta N.
