CZI Science 5-Year Anniversary Symposium
Watch the full video from the virtual symposium celebrating our work over the past five years and looking ahead to what’s next. You can also scroll down to see each chapter video.
Five years ago CZI co-founders and co-CEOs, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, announced the launch of the Chan Zuckerberg Science Initiative with a bold mission: to support the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent, or manage all disease by the end of the century.
Fast forward to today and together with our colleagues, grantees, partners, and collaborators, we have learned a tremendous amount about how to accelerate biomedical science to advance human health. Together with the scientific community, our science and technology teams have made progress in characterizing human cells and visualizing biological processes; in bringing together experts across disciplines and career stages to tackle disease; in identifying and democratizing valuable and emerging methods, tools, and datasets; and in supporting patient communities. And we’re just getting started!
