Science Programs & Resources
We believe good ideas can come from anywhere. We choose projects by engaging deeply with the scientific and medical communities to identify unmet needs and barriers to success. We learn by reaching out to leaders formally, through meetings and workshops, and informally, through collaborations. Some leaders are found in scientific societies, government agencies, disease foundations, the biotechnology industry, and philanthropic foundations. Some leaders are young visionaries who are still in training. With their advice, we identify projects that align with our goals and values: collaboration is the key to success, and technology is our differentiator. Our initial projects are outlined below.
Science
IDSeq
IDseq is a real-time pathogen detection dashboard that helps prevent outbreaks around the world. Free, open, and accessible to anyone in the world.
Science
Rare As One Project
A project partnering with the rare disease community to lift up patient-led research efforts and support them with tools, grant programs, training, and capacity building
Science
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub
An independent nonprofit medical research hub that brings together scientists and engineers from Stanford, UCSF, and Berkeley.
Science
Single-Cell Biology
By accelerating the development and application of single-cell tools and technologies, we can better understand how disease manifests in the body’s cells and tissues.
Science
Meta
Meta is a tool that uses machine learning and natural language processing to analyze and organize biomedical papers for readers.
Science
Neurodegeneration Challenge Network
A collaborative network that brings new ideas and people into the field of neurodegeneration, supporting them with well-validated tools and resources.
Science
Imaging
We want to enable researchers everywhere to visualize, measure, and analyze the biological processes underlying health and disease.
Science
Open Science
We empower more people to engage in research practices that accelerate the pace, robustness, and reproducibility of science through partnerships, policies, and grants.
Science
Science in Society
We are helping build public trust in science by engaging patient communities, policymakers, and other key stakeholders.
Resources
We support the open sharing of data, code, and ideas, because it lets scientists build on each others’ work to make new discoveries, faster. Here’s a growing list of resources that scientists and software engineers can check out to learn more about the work we’re doing to accelerate science.
Github
We’re committed to developing code in the open, including tools for scientific data analysis, visualization, and sharing. Visit our Github page to browse some current projects.
Slack
We use Slack to build open virtual communities and for discussions across collaborative projects. We maintain a Slack deployment for friends and collaborators; please contact us to join!
Sharing experimental protocols speeds up science by allowing researchers to efficiently reproduce methods. We are supporting protocols.io to help assemble open protocols from the Human Cell Atlas community.
Human Cell Atlas Data Coordination Platform
The HCA is a global project to map all human cells. The Data Coordination Platform, which CZI is funding and developing with UCSC, EBI and the Broad Institute, will enable data submission, analysis, and sharing.
Image-based transcriptomics measure the spatial pattern of gene expression in cells and tissues. A collaborative team is developing standard file formats and analysis pipelines for this assay and implementing them in a scalable open-source package.
