"Chan Zuckerberg Biohub NY: Revolutionizing Disease-Fighting Cellular Machines"

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has launched the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub New York (CZ Biohub NY), a biomedical research hub in New York City that aims to develop technologies to characterize and bioengineer immune cells. The goal is to create disease-specific "cellular endoscopes" that can detect early stages of disease in cells, monitor cell changes, and resolve diseases before they become untreatable. The CZ Biohub NY will collaborate with Columbia University, The Rockefeller University, and Yale University. The initiative is part of the larger CZ Biohub Network, which focuses on quantifying human biology to increase understanding of health and disease. The State of New York and New York City are contributing $10 million each to the CZ Biohub NY.
