Jacob Anderson

Welcome to Cabot! We are so happy to have you here! I am in the MD-PhD Program at Harvard Medical School/MIT. I utilize biophysical techniques to ‘see’ molecules at angstrom resolution, focusing on atomic structures of proteins that prevent bleeding and support normal lung function. Before medical school, I worked at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) studying intrinsically disordered proteins with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). As an undergraduate, I studied biophysics and language policy in South Asia and studied Urdu in Lucknow, India, supported by Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) and Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) awards. At Cabot, I lead and organize Tutor Recruiting, serve as a pre-medical advisor, and help run entryway/House programming.

Outside of the clinic, laboratory, and classroom, I love to play any game (soccer, basketball, puzzles, trivia, badminton, volleyball, frisbee)! Around Cabot, I have organized coffee tastings, Fresh Pond runs, pool tournaments, go-karts, and book clubs. I love trying new and fun events, so please share yours and we can build them together!

Passionate about all things science and medicine, I love helping Cabotians explore their interests in graduate school and clinical medicine. So please do not hesitate to reach out if I can help in any way!
