Ragon Institute 10 Year Video

On February 4, 2009, the presidents of the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University - Peter L. Slavin, MD; Susan Hockfield, PhD; and Drew G. Faust, PhD; respectively - and special guests Phillip T. and Susan M. Ragon gathered at the Charles Hotel to announce creation of the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard.
Formed to find new ways of preventing and curing human disease through harnessing the power of the immune system, the Ragon Institute brings scientists and clinicians together with engineers using the latest technologies in an interdisciplinary effort to better understand how the body fights infections. That understanding will ultimately be applied against a wide range of infectious diseases and cancers, with an initial focus on the need for an effective vaccine against AIDS.
