Pierre Casimir-Lambert is the founder and chairman of Fondation MIT, renamed MIT Stem Cell  Initiative in 2017, which launched fundamental research on the role of stem cells at the Graduate  Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This axis  of research works to clarify the collapse of remissions and re-awakening of the same cancer, overtime.  He also co-founded other foundations, one notably supporting research on the role of inflammation  in cancer, and supporting studies in the United States for promising, young, underprivileged women  from developing countries.
