David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT

The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT was established in 2007 to bring scientists and engineers together to solve the most pressing problems in cancer. The Koch Institute builds on the legacy of the MIT Center for Cancer Research (CCR) and has maintained the NCI designation since 1974.

The Koch Institute’s state-of-the-art facilities are a hub for cancer research on the MIT campus. The Koch Institute building houses faculty members from the Department of Biology (formerly in the MIT Center for Cancer Research) with faculty members drawn from a variety of departments in the MIT School of Engineering in one physical location. The Koch Institute faculty also includes many members from the Whitehead and Broad Institutes. This interdisciplinary and collaborative group of investigators is at the core of the Koch Institute’s mission to develop new insights into cancer, as well as new tools, technologies, and collaborative, theme-focused centers to better treat, diagnose, and prevent the disease.
