[1] Bachelet earned his Ph.D. in medical sciences from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and did two postdoctoral fellowships, engineering at M.I.T.
and biologically inspired engineering at the George Church lab at Harvard University.
[2] His fields of expertise include DNA origami, synthetic biology, and biomimetics.
His well cited[3] paper "A logic-gated nanorobot for targeted transport of molecular payloads",[4] which deals with nanoscale robots' ability to kill cancer cells, created an important interface between the field of DNA origami and medicine.
Bachelet, born in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak to Uri and Shelly,[5] lives in Boston and Israel.
