Cambridge Science festival 2017The Koch Institute featured a mini-golf course this year for the Cambridge Science Festival with the goal of putt-ing cancer in its place. The course featured 9 holes on various aspects of KI research including two on metastasis. The one on the left featured local invasion through the extracellular matrix to the blood vessel (by the Hynes lab) and the one on the right represented dissemination throughout the vasculature and eventual colonization of secondary organs. We had a great time!
