DESCRIPTION (Provided by the applicant): This application is being submitted by the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT (Kl), which succeeded the MIT Center for Cancer Research (CCR) in 2007. Funds are requested to hire an MD/PhD physician-scientist, who will establish a tenure-track, independent research position within the Kl as well as maintain clinical activities at an area hospital. Over the past 35 years, the CCR and now the Kl have been an NCI-designated Cancer Center supported by an NCI Cancer Center Support Grant. The recent transition from the CCR to the Kl was made in recognition of cancer research within this Center has become increasingly multi-disciplinary, involving several MIT faculty members from departments in both the Schools of Science and Engineering. The Kl will be housed in a new building, which is currently under construction and scheduled to be completed in December 2010. The new building will have an equal number of cancer scientists and engineering faculty (including those with MD, PhD and MD/PhD degrees) working on cancer and cancer-related problems. Through its physical layout, its scientific and administrative organization and its over-arching mission, the Koch Institute will actively stimulate interdisciplinary approaches to cancer research and development and collaborative research projects. Moreover, to take full advantage of the markedly increased emphasis on translational cancer research, the Koch Institute has developed funded research initiatives with several clinical oncology centers. This application requests funds to hire a physician-scientist to increase further the extent of translational cancer research within the Koch Institute as well as to provide additional outreach to area clinical centers. This individual will contribute to research in the area of cancer metabolism and will participate in translational research in this and other areas. This application request funds to support the establishment of this investigator's laboratory over the first two years; MIT will provide an additional two years of support.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请由麻省理工学院（吉隆坡）大卫 H. 科赫综合癌症研究所提交，该研究所于 2007 年继承了麻省理工学院癌症研究中心 (CCR)。需要资金聘请一位医学博士/博士科学家，他将在吉隆坡建立终身教职独立研究职位，并在地区医院维持临床活动。在过去的 35 年里，CCR 和现在的 Kl 一直是 NCI 指定的癌症中心，并得到 NCI 癌症中心支持拨款的支持。最近从 CCR 过渡到 Kl 是为了认识到该中心的癌症研究已成为 越来越多学科，涉及来自科学学院和工程学院的几位麻省理工学院教员。 Kl 将坐落在一座新大楼内，该大楼目前正在建设中，计划于 2010 年 12 月竣工。新大楼将拥有同等数量的癌症科学家和工程人员（包括拥有医学博士、博士学位和医学博士/博士学位的人员），致力于癌症和癌症相关问题的研究。通过其物理布局、科学和行政组织及其总体使命，科赫研究所将积极促进癌症研究和开发以及合作研究项目的跨学科方法。此外，为了充分利用对转化癌症研究的显着增加的重视，科赫研究所与多个临床肿瘤学中心共同制定了资助研究计划。该申请要求提供资金聘请一名医师科学家，以进一步扩大科赫研究所内转化癌症研究的范围，并为地区临床中心提供额外的服务。此人将为癌症代谢领域的研究做出贡献，并将参与该领域和其他领域的转化研究。该申请要求资金支持该研究者前两年建立实验室；麻省理工学院将提供额外两年的支持。
