April 2006
Sanjay Kumar, Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, has received a
2006 Beckman Young Investigators Award from the Arnold and Mabel
Beckman Foundation.
 The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation
makes grants to promote research in chemistry and the life sciences,
broadly interpreted, and particularly to foster the invention of
methods, instruments, and materials that will open up new avenues of
research in science. The Beckman Young Investigators Program is
intended to provide research support to the most promising young
faculty members in the early stages of academic careers in the chemical
and life sciences.
Dr. Kumar was awarded the grant for his research on Engineering cell
shape and mechanics in the nervous system, and was the only UC Berkeley
professor to be selected for the 2006 award.
Congratulations Sanjay! |
