The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is a philanthropic organization founded by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan that aims to advance human potential and promote equal opportunity through a combination of grantmaking, impact investing, policy and advocacy work, and engineering and technology development. The initiative focuses on areas such as science, education, justice and opportunity, and technology to help solve some of the world's toughest challenges.

Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education, to addressing the needs of our communities. Through collaboration, providing resources and building technology, our mission is to help build a more inclusive, just and healthy future for everyone. 

We engage directly in the communities we serve because no one understands how to address our society’s challenges better than those who live them everyday. These partners help us identify problems and opportunities, learn fast and iterate toward our audacious goals for the next century. We strive to be humble, empathetic and life-long learners who work collaboratively to develop community-centered solutions. 

To help build a more just, equitable future, we embrace people from all backgrounds and experiences, who challenge each other’s assumptions with fresh perspectives. To that end, we are co-creating an environment where everyone feels respected, valued and we celebrate the beauty in the diversity of our shared strength.

“Over the next 20 years, we’re going to see profound changes in how we do science.” CZI’s Head of Science Stephen Quake, D.Phil. shares our vision for using AI to help researchers make discoveries about human biology. We’re building AI tools to uncover new insights about how our cells function to identify and treat disease earlier.

Any education technology must be designed and built alongside educators so that it addresses their needs in helping students grow and learn.

We can all agree that a healthier future for everyone is one where scientific research represents the full array of patients and their families. But how do we get there? 

Raluca Kurz believes, and our science team agrees, that it includes increasing diversity in the field of genomics and the people included in scientific research.

"Genetics belongs to everybody."

Raluca fell in love with genetics decades before her tenure at Charles Drew University (CDU), and over the past decade, the genetic counseling profession has grown rapidly. However, the racial and ethnic makeup of genetic counselors hasn’t changed much. CDU is working to change that by expanding research opportunities for their students and creating a new Master of Science program in Genetic Counseling to help increase diversity in the field.
