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 riddles 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.
With its new state-of-the-art cancer research facility, 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 is building on those findings with novel ways of diagnosing, monitoring, and treating cancer. The Koch Institute exploits MIT’s proven strengths in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and immunology. But what makes this new enterprise unique is the integral role of MIT’s engineering powerhouse.
The Koch Institute’s end goal is 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 here.
