Biohub invests $500M to build AI models of human cells
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub is investing $500 million over five years to develop AI models of human cells, making generated biological datasets freely available to researchers worldwide. The initiative aims to create a digital laboratory where scientists can predict how cells react to various stimuli without performing real-life experiments.
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub is investing $500 million over five years to develop artificial intelligence models of human cells. The non-profit organisation, founded by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and doctor Priscilla Chan in 2016, will allocate $400 million for its own initiatives and $100 million as grants to other researchers. Nvidia is listed as one of the collaborators for the project. Biohub's initiative aims to make all generated biological datasets freely available to researchers worldwide. The organisation plans to create a digital laboratory where scientists can predict how cells react to various stimuli, stresses, diseases, or new drugs without performing real-life experiments. This could help uncover the underlying mechanisms of unknown diseases and find their treatment.
