mark zuckerbergpriscilla chanscience researchmedical newshealth technologychicago biohubdisease preventioncellular biologylab workfuture of medicinescience update

When Priscilla and I started working on the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's science mission to help cure, prevent or manage all diseases, our first major project was launching the Biohub. It has been very successful, so today we're launching a second Biohub in Chicago that will engineer miniaturized sensors to instrument living tissues to help scientists see and understand how cells work together. We're going to start by instrumenting skin and heart tissues with an initial focus on measuring inflammation. About 50% of deaths are caused by diseases related to inflammation, like cancer and heart disease, so we're hopeful the technology created at the Chicago Biohub will have broad applications for science and health similar to the San Francisco Biohub.
