The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT brings together the best of biological investigation and engineering technology for one purpose – eradicating cancer. The Koch Institute is more than a new building. It is a bold commitment to cross-disciplinary research that will rapidly transform new discoveries into effective new therapies and methods that benefit patients. Working with a network of clinical collaborators, we tackle cancer’s most formidable challenges – detecting cancer at its earliest stages; stopping it from spreading; delivering nano-based therapies; advancing new “personalized” medicines; and harnessing the immune system to fight and prevent cancer. Together we will conquer cancer. The future of cancer research is here.

"From its formidable faculty to its floor plans, we designed the new Koch Institute as a cauldron for unexpected collaborations, a place for diverse minds to join forces in our relentless fight against cancer.”
- MIT President Susan Hockfield
