Tumor Heterogeneity & Drug Resistance

The 22nd Annual Koch Institute Symposium on Tumor Heterogeneity and Drug Resistance will take place on Friday, June 21, 2024. This year's speaker lineup features a robust array of experts, both internal to MIT and from external institutions around the US and abroad, representing multiple scientific disciplines and technical approaches that seek to better understand patient-specific variation in cancer progression and response to therapy.

We cordially invite scientists, oncologists, and any other member of the biomedical community to join us in a day of engaging talks, stimulating conversations with colleagues, and of course camaraderie in our collective fight against cancer. As we explore issues ranging from divergent single-cell states and plasticity to mechanisms of resistance through signaling and epigenetics, please consider joining us at this year’s summer symposium hosted by MIT’s nationally recognized basic cancer center.

More details and the full agenda are available at the Koch Institute's website.
