Arnav Chhabra is an entrepreneur, scientist and inventor. He is one of the co-founders of Satellite Bio.

Driven by his passion for healthcare, Chhabra started working at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas when he was a teenager, and had his first peer-reviewed paper published before he graduated from high school. Chhabra continued to publish as an undergraduate researcher and mechanical engineering major at the University of Texas-Austin, where he graduated summa cum laude.

As Chhabra began his graduate studies at MIT under the supervision of Dr. Sangeeta Bhatia, he was awarded the prestigious Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship and the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship.

He was also recognized by Forbes’ 30 under 30, becoming one of the youngest ever to make the ‘Science’ list. In 2019, he received his PhD in Medical Engineering & Medical Physics from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology before co-founding Satellite Bio at the age of 27 with Dr. Bhatia and Dr. Christopher Chen.

During his PhD, Chhabra invented several technologies in the field of regenerative medicine, two of which were critical to the development of Satellite Bio’s Satellite Adaptive Tissue (SAT) platform.
