A polymath trained in medicine and engineering, Bhatia made her name working at the intersection of nanomaterials and disease detection and treatment — in the process forming five companies. Now she’s building on her scientific and entrepreneurial clout to create more opportunities for other women to found life science companies, including the creation of a…
“Less dollars go to women-founded companies and you are frequently the only woman in the room,” said Sangeeta Bhatia, an MIT professor and biotech entrepreneur.
“It’s very easy to forget how much progress there has been because we haven’t arrived where we’d like to be," said Nancy Hopkins, winner of the STAT Biomedical Innovation Award, at the #STATSummit.
