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 agai

nst 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.

In March, the Koch Institute hosted the Boston region’s You Be The Chemist Challenge, a nation-wide team-based STEM competition for elementary and middle school students. The Challenge is designed to provide a dynamic learning experience focused on sparking interest in STEM early in students’ academic careers.

Of the over 20 teams that participated in the Boston Regional competition, one of those teams is moving forward to the national competition in Houston, Texas! Winners of The National Challenge receive scholarships to further their education, whether that be in a university or trade school.

Join us in wishing all participants luck in the final portion of the competition!
