The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a philanthropy and technology organization founded in 2015 by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, structured as an LLC. Once spanning education, science, justice reform and housing, CZI has refocused on a single audacious goal: helping scientists cure, prevent or manage all disease by the end of the century. Its flagship CZ Biohub network now builds AI 'virtual cell' models, generates massive biological datasets, and ships free open-source tools so researchers everywhere can move faster.
Priscilla Chan is the co-founder and co-CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a pediatrician-turned-philanthropist directing one of the largest private bets on biomedical science. With husband Mark Zuckerberg she has pledged the bulk of their fortune to a mission to help scientists cure, prevent, or manage all disease by the end of the century, increasingly through AI-powered biology and the Biohub network.
