Join us at the MIT Koch Institute for the origin story behind the development and recent FDA approval of INLEXZO™, a new treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer, and the pretzel-shaped drug delivery platform behind it. 

What inspired this project? Why is it shaped that way? What’s next for this platform? 

Professor Michael Cima, in whose lab the device got its start, and alumna Karen Daniel, PhD ’09 (X D) recount the journey from prototype to progress against cancer.
