A Note from Priscilla Chan ([link removed] )
CZI will turn eight this year, which is hard to believe. I’ve been thinking a lot about how much we’ve learned since 2015 — and how we’re implementing those learnings as we work together to create impact on a global scale.
In that spirit, I want to dedicate this newsletter to our progress in science, which is already changing lives — and opening extraordinary new horizons in medicine. I look forward to sharing more areas of our work later in the year.
Unlocking the Mysteries of the Cell
CZ Science has an ambitious mission: to support the science and technology that would make it possible to cure, prevent or manage all diseases by the end of the century.
The first few years of our work were about exploring the ways we can make progress toward this ambitious goal, which led us to our focus for the next 10 years to unlock the mysteries of the cell.
Right now, scientists know very little about how the 37 trillion cells in our bodies develop, specialize and change over time. What we need are ways to measure any biological process within the human body, at any scale, in real time. In that knowledge is the possibility to transform our ability to manage or treat every disease.
That’s precisely what CZI aims to create over the next decade — by building new scientific tools, funding research, and doing awesome science.
Keep reading for our most recent announcement: the next Chan Zuckerberg Biohub location will be in Chicago, Illinois, where leading research institutions will build new technologies so that scientists can measure biological processes in human tissues, with an ultimate goal of understanding and treating the inflammatory states that underlie many diseases. And, learn more about how researchers are using the Chan Zuckerberg Cell by Gene (CZ CELLxGENE) tool we built to better understand disease at the level of our cells. You will also meet one of our many partners in the Rare As One Network, which is bringing rare disease patients together to accelerate research and find treatments and cures.
