Ankur Jain, an Assistant Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was among the 2019 cohort of David and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellows for Science and Engineering.

The David and Lucile Packard Foundation recently announced its 2019 class of Packard Fellows for Science and Engineering, which included one Indian American honoree. This year’s class features 22 early-career scientists and engineers, who will each receive $875,000 over five years to pursue their research. Among the fellows named was Ankur Jain, Assistant Professor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s biology department.

“A single human cell contains several billion macromolecular building blocks. We investigate the design principles that cells use to organize their contents, and how defects in the cellular organization can contribute to human disease,” Jain said in his Fellow bio.
