The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) opened in Cambridge.
The Koch Institute will replace the previous MIT Center for Cancer Research, an NCI-designated basic research center since 1974. The institute brings together cancer scientists and cancer engineers, said Tyler Jacks, David H. Koch Professor of Biology, and founding director of the Koch Institute.
The institute will be "explicitly interdisciplinary," said Jacks, listing researchers from the systems biology, nanotechnology, engineering, materials science, and biology fields that will be housed in or affiliated with the new facility. Jacks plans for the institute to combine science and engineering to offer "new innovative approaches at the interface of these disciplines."
