A Koch Institute Partnership for Postdoctoral Catalytic Cancer Research at MIT
The Mazumdar-Shaw International Oncology Fellows Program is a high-impact, bilateral collaboration with India focusing on cancer research training as its cornerstone. The program offers opportunities for postdoctoral scientists, engineers, and physicians to undertake cancer research at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, working at the interfaces between biology and medicine and the diverse fields of mathematics, engineering, computer science, and the physical and chemical sciences.
The program is funded by Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, chair and managing director of Biocon, one of India’s largest biotechnology firms. Started in 2011, the Mazumdar-Shaw Fellows Program brings fellows at the postdoctoral level to the Koch Institute to train for a period of two years. Those researchers will then return to India to help jump-start cancer research programs there. As part of the program, MIT faculty also travel to India to interact with scientists there. Read more about the Mazumdar-Shaw fellowship program and its potential impact on the growing cancer problem in India.
