Principal Investigator
Sanjay Kumar earned a B.S. in chemical engineering (1996) from the University
of Minnesota, where he studied lipid self-assembly in the laboratory of
Matt Tirrell. He then moved on to Johns Hopkins University, where he earned
an M.D. (2003) and a Ph.D. in molecular biophysics (2003) as a fellow
of the NIH Medical Scientist Training Program. During the graduate portion
of his training, he investigated the structure and energetics of neuronal
intermediate filaments in the laboratories of Jan Hoh of the School of
Medicine and Mike Paulaitis of the Department of Chemical Engineering.
Prior to joining the faculty at Berkeley (2005), he served as an NIH research
fellow with Don Ingber at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical
School, where he examined the nanoscale mechanics and dynamics of cytoskeletal
structures in living cells. |
