MIT Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research

MIT Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research Bringing MIT’s scientists and engineers together to advance the fight against cancer.

The Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, a National Cancer Institute-designated Basic Cancer Research Center, is the hub of cancer research on the MIT campus. Bringing together biologists, chemists, engineers, computer scientists, clinicians, and others in a state-of-the-art facility, the Koch Institute offers fresh perspectives and interdisciplinary approaches to advancing the fight against cancer. Koch Institute investigators are focused on five research areas that are believed to be critical for rapid progress toward controlling cancer: nanotechnology-based cancer therapeutics, detection and monitoring, metastasis, precision cancer medicine, and cancer immunology and immunotherapy. Working within the vibrant MIT research community and with external collaborators, including NCI-designated clinical cancer centers and biotech/pharma partners, the Koch Institute is dedicated to developing novel insights into cancer, as well as new tools and technologies to better detect, treat, and prevent the disease.

Congratulations to Sourav Ghosh and Kotaro Tomuro, winners of the 2025 Angelika Amon Young Scientist Awards!

Ghosh, a biotechnology graduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, uncovered a novel bacteriolytic role for the host AAA-ATPase VCP/p97, which extracts ubiquitinated proteins from bacterial surfaces, rupturing pathogens and protecting the host from lethal infection. He is supervised by Anirban Banerjee.

Tomuro, a PhD candidate at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute and The University of Tokyo, develops innovative ribosome profiling technologies to map within cells when and where proteins are made, and works under the supervision of Shintaro Iwasaki.

Ghosh and Tomuro will present their award lectures and receive their prizes at the Amon Award ceremony on Thursday, November 6, at 10 a.m. in the Luria Auditorium, followed at 11:30 a.m. by a reception in the Koch Institute Public Galleries.

MIT community members and Amon Lab alumni are invited to attend.
