Zuckerberg Trying to Simulate Human Biology at the Cellular Level

Chan Zuckerberg Biohub will invest $500 million over five years to build predictive AI models of human cells.

Most of the funding will go to its own AI biology work, with some support for outside researchers.

The goal is to improve cellular modeling and accelerate understanding, treatment, and prevention of disease.
