  • The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT
    The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research was announced on October 9, 2007. By combining the faculty of the (now former) MIT Center for Cancer Research (CCR) with an equivalent number of distinguished engineers drawn from various MIT departments, the Koch Institute will continue CCR’s tradition of scientific excellence while also seeking to directly promote innovative ways to diagnose, monitor, and treat cancer through advanced technology. Among the engineering faculty there will be remarkable diversity, as the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, Biological Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering departments will be represented in the Koch Institute. For three decades, CCR has been a mainstay of MIT’s—and the nation’s—efforts to conquer cancer. Its faculty has included five Nobel Prize winners, and the wealth of fundamental discoveries that have emerged under its aegis have helped shape the face of molecular biology. Under the banner of the Koch Institute, the future promises to hold even more astounding advances. Within the Koch Institute we will not directly provide clinical care for cancer patients but discoveries made by Koch Institute scientists and engineers will have a broad impact on how the disease is detected and managed. Applying our great strengths in science and technology, and working closely with our clinical collaborators, Koch Institute researchers will be tireless in unraveling the complexities of this disease and bringing new discoveries—and new hope—to patients. The Koch Institute includes more than 40 laboratories and more than 500 researchers located at our headquarters and across the MIT campus.
