Koch Institute Public Galleries: Making Tumors Vulnerable
How can researchers overcome the "toughness" of cancerous tissue and deliver treatments deep inside tumors? This video tells the story of researchers from Sangeeta Bhatia's lab at the KI who have developed a new nanomaterials-based solution to this problem. The video is currently featured in the interactive displays of the KI Public Galleries. Learn more at: http://ki.mit.edu/galleries.
Koch Institute Public Galleries: Sensing Cancer
How can doctors more quickly and effectively determine whether a new treatment is working for a cancer patient or not? This video traces the work of the Cima lab at the KI to overcome this problem with a tiny implantable sensor. The video currently appears in the interactive exhibits of the KI Public Galleries.

Koch Institute Public Galleries: Stopping the Spread of Cancer
How can doctors detect and stop the deadly process by which cancers spread throughout the body? This video traces the work of the KI's Gertler lab to better understand metastasis and identify new targets for detection and therapy of metastatic cancers. The video currently appears in the interactive exhibits of the KI Public Galleries. Learn more at http://ki.mit.edu/galleries.
Koch Institute Public Galleries: Engineering the Immune System
How can researchers better equip the body's immune system to fight off cancer? This video tells the story of researchers in the Irvine lab at the Koch Institute who have developed a new nanoparticle-based system for boosting the immune response to cancer. The video currently appears in the interactive exhibits of the KI Public Galleries. Learn more at http://ki.mit.edu/galleries.
Koch Institute Public Galleries: Cutting off Cancer's Food Supply
How can cancer medicine take advantage of cancer's peculiar eating habits? This video traces the work of the KI's Vander Heiden lab to understand why cancer burns sugar differently from other human cells, and how this could lead to better cancer therapies. The video currently appears in the interactive exhibits of the KI Public Galleries. Learn more at http://ki.mit.edu/galleries.
Graduate Admissions Panel
In this sessions, four professors from various departments for Graduate Education explain and answer questions in regards to the admissions process. All application processes are similar, however key differences are highlighted below. For the Electrical Engineering Department & Computer Science, applications are submitted online and read by 78/120 professors, each individual application is read by 5-7 professors. The committee looks for whether applicants can do good research, independence, exci
The science behind wheeled sports
This unit focuses on cycling and wheelchair racing: what we might collectively call 'wheeled sports'. The Scientific concepts such as force, acceleration and speed are also useful for understanding these sports. However, cycling and wheelchair racing differ from the sports you have studied so far in that technology more obviously plays an important role.
Next steps
This Unit studies 'proteins'. Starting with a simple analysis of the molecular make up, the Unit moves on to look at the importance of protein and how they are digested and absorbed
