Making Tumors Vulnerable
The Bhatia lab uses nanomaterials to make tumors more susceptible to treatment. watch...
As part of the Koch Institute's commitment to engaging public audiences in cancer research, we have created a series of educational animations profiling Koch Institute research projects. These animations, which appear both in the Public Galleries and on the web, are designed to provide the public with answers to practical questions, such as, "what sorts of problems to cancer researchers try to solve?" and, "what tools and technologies do they use?" As the KI's research moves forward in the coming months and years, new animations will allow the public to continue tracking our progress toward better diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of cancer.
