The winner of this year’s MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition is helping advanced therapies reach patients faster. CoFlo Medical’s drug-injection device could administer treatments more quickly to people with cancer, autoimmune diseases, and more.

Supporting US Army missions, MIT Lincoln Laboratory's new radar system, WiSPR, extends signal range for long-distance radar and communication. “Much innovation is happening in the commercial sector, and we leveraged those advances,” Greg Lyons says.

Biologists discovered a set of peptides found only in pancreatic tumors, which produce “one of the most challenging cancers to treat,” Tyler Jacks says. “This study identifies an unexpected vulnerability in pancreas cancer cells that we may be able to exploit.”

John Urschel spoke with the Guardian about leaving his career as a guard for the Baltimore Ravens to focus on his love of math at MIT: “I missed talking math with people, learning things, being around other people who like … math-related issues."

Andy Obst ’90 and his wife, Mary Anne, invent and manufacture medical devices for patients with hard-to-treat wounds. At MIT, he says, he learned “how to execute and just get the work done. If there was a deadline, you had to hit it.”

​Since its founding, MIT has been key to helping American science and innovation lead the world. Discoveries that begin here generate jobs and power the economy — and what we create today builds a better tomorrow for all of us.
