Founder, Chairman, & CEO
Nanobiosym Diagnostics, Inc
 Dr.
Anita Goel, MD, PhD founded Nanobiosym®, Inc in 2004 as an
R&D
engine that focuses on emerging technologies at the
convergence
of Physics, Medicine, and Nanotechnology. Dr. Goel’s
pioneering
contributions to this interface over the past 15 years have been
recognized globally by several prestigious honors and awards. Her work
on establishing the feasibility of the Gene-RADAR® technology
platform at Nanobiosym® has been recognized by multiple rounds
of
funding from the United States Department of Defense agencies including
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Air Force Office of
Scientific Research (AFOSR) and US Dept of Energy (DOE) and US Defense
Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
After successfully demonstrating proof-of-concept, Dr. Goel
established Nanobiosym® Diagnostics to
commercialize nano-enabled portable diagnostic capabilities.
Dr.
Goel has built a world class team of advisors, sponsors, and
strategic collaborators to realize the full potential for
Gene-RADAR® in both developed and emerging world
markets.
A Harvard-MIT trained physicist and
physician, Dr.
Goel was named in 2005 as one of the world’s “Top
35
science and technology innovators under the age of 35” by
MIT’s Technology Review Magazine and
in 2006 received the Global Indus Technovator Award from MIT, an honor
recognizing the contributions of top 10 leaders working at the
forefront of science, technology, and entrepreneurship.
Dr. Goel holds both a PhD in Physics from Harvard University and an MD
from the Harvard-MIT Joint Division of Health Sciences and Technology
(HST) and BS in Physics with Honors & Distinction from Stanford
University. She is a Fellow of the World Technology Network, a
Fellow-at-Large of the Santa Fe Institute, and an Associate of the
Harvard Physics Department and Adjunct Professor of the BEYOND
Institute for Fundamental Concepts in Science.
She also serves on the Board of Trustees and Scientific Advisory Board
of India-Nano, an organization devoted to bridging breakthrough
advances in nanotechnology with the burgeoning Indian hi-tech
sector. While at Stanford, Dr. Goel envisioned building new
bridges between the world’s two largest democracies: the U.S.
and
India. Inspired by this vision, Dr. Goel founded and spearheaded SETU
(Sanskrit for “bridge”), an international
conference
& think tank that brought
together world leaders
from academic, business, political, and humanitarian arenas
at
Stanford University .
