    Default job background
    Description
    The Team

    CZI supports the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of this century.

    While this may seem like an audacious goal, in the last 100 years, biomedical science has made tremendous strides in understanding biological systems, advancing human health, and treating disease.

    We

    build

    open-source software tools to accelerate science and generate more accurate and biologically important sources of data. We

    fund

    scientific research worldwide to advance the frontiers of knowledge. And we launched a family of institutes to

    do

    research that can't be done in conventional environments. Each aspect is essential to our approach to building for the long term.


    CZI's work in science includes grantmaking programs, open-source software development, and close collaboration with its partner institutes at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network.

    The CZ Biohub Network includes the San Francisco, Chicago, and New York Biohubs as well as the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute.
