The Koch Institute grows out of and transcends the MIT Center for Cancer Research (CCR), which was founded in 1974 by Nobel Laureate and MIT Professor Salvador Luria. It is one of eight National Cancer Institute-designated basic (non-clinical) research centers in the U.S. Learn more
From December 2011: "Targeted Therapies in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer"
"The Doctor is IN" is a monthly seminar series at the Koch Institute at MIT. The goal of this seminar is to discuss the clinical management of different cancer types.
This event, the second in the Koch Institute's with/in/sight lecture series, featured three expert perspectives on new tools and devices being used in the management of cancer. The evening's speakers were: Barbara Smith, director of the Breast Program and Co-Director ...
This video follows artist Cork Marcheschi as he installs his new sculpture "Eureka!" in the Koch Institute Public Galleries. The piece marks the entrance to the Robert A. Swanson (1969) Biotechnology Center and recognizes Robert Swanson's formative role in the ...
Learn more about how the Love lab is using miniature micro titer plates and micro fluidics to evaluate populations of cells, maximize their productivity, and ultimately improve the process for developing cancer biologics.
Learn more about the work that Professor Anderson's lab is doing to create tiny nanoparticles that can deliver RNA to a cancer cell to stop tumor growth--and how they are collaborating with industry to speed development of this potential therapy.
Learn more about how the White lab is using mass spectrometry to better understand the key components of cell signaling that drive how cancer cells invade and proliferate in glioblastoma.
Learn more about the work that Professor Lees and her lab are doing to understand how proteins and pathways are mutated in cancer--and how they hope to make advances in detecting and hopefully treating osteosarcoma.
Learn more the work going on in the Irvine lab, which focuses on development of drug delivery tools and new methods for analyzing cellular immune responses.
Learn more about the work that Professor Cima's lab is doing to create tiny nanosensors that are chemically sensitive to different molecules--and how they hope these sensors can be used to help determine proper dosage for chemotherapy.
Learn more about the Chang lab's work to better understand a family of proteins, called PARPs, and how blocking specific PARPs might be a promising target for cancer therapies.
Learn more about the work the Bhatia lab is doing to use micro and nanotechnologies to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

How can cancer medicine take advantage of cancer's peculiar eating habits? This video traces the work of the KI's Vander Heiden lab to understand why cancer burns sugar differently from other human cells, and how this could lead to better cancer therapies. The video ...
How can researchers better equip the body's immune system to fight off cancer? This video tells the story of researchers in the Irvine lab at the Koch Institute who have developed a new nanoparticle-based system for boosting the immune response to cancer. The video ...
How can doctors detect and stop the deadly process by which cancers spread throughout the body? This video traces the work of the KI's Gertler lab to better understand metastasis and identify new targets for detection and therapy of metastatic cancers. The video ...
