Jaden Anderson is a Ph.D. student in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. He was born in Alpharetta, Georgia and after a few moves, he is excited to return to the Atlanta area. During his undergrad at MIT as a Chemistry and Biology(5-7) major, he spent much time on Biochemistry research with The Nolan Lab, as well as doing international research through MIT’s exchange and internship programs. These experiences furthered his passion for the field and care for the world. Jaden loves working to understand the mechanisms by which humans or bacteria use and metabolize chemicals, while also investigating how we can apply these findings for medical advances. Outside of his studies, Jaden enjoys exploring restaurants, reading books, and playing volleyball or dodgeball. He is looking forward to continuing Biochemistry research at Georgia Tech, and to become a part of the Stamps community in order to continue growing as a scholar, mentor, and community member.
