The cell is the most fundamental unit of human life. Yet despite decades of scientific research and progress, much of it remains a mystery. That’s why over the next 10 years, CZI aims to understand the mysteries of the cell and how cells interact within tissues and organs. 

Focusing on fundamental science to better understand human biology will lead to groundbreaking treatments and therapies. Read our recent blog story where we answer frequently asked questions about cells and share learnings from the latest research including:

1. How many cells are there in the human body?
2. How many different types of cells are there in the human body?
3. How does understanding the cell’s response to disease allow us to develop new therapies?
4. Does every single cell in my body have the same DNA?
