David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research
The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research is changing the future of research, combining Nobel-worthy science with world-class engineering to create new solutions to the problems of cancer. From nano-sized silver bullets designed to kill cancer cells to embedded sensors that signal cancer’s presence, MIT is inventing hope for the next generation.
Soon to be housed in a state-of-the-art cancer research facility (scheduled to open in 2010), the Koch Institute both transforms and transcends MIT’s pioneering Center for Cancer Research (CCR). From 1973 to 2008, the CCR played a prominent role in defining the critical cellular processes that are affected during cancer development. The Koch Institute will build on those advances with novel ways of diagnosing, monitoring, and treating cancer.
Like its predecessor, the Koch Institute grows out of MIT’s proven strengths in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and immunology. But what makes this new enterprise so unique is the integral role that MIT’s engineering powerhouse will play.
The new Institute remains committed to carrying forward one of MIT’s proudest traditions: the transfer of basic science out of the laboratory and into the world, where innovation has its real impacts. Read more about the Koch Institute on its Web site.
