Our Work

At the center of change

CZ Biohub is the next step forward in medical research.

Our projects bring together world-renowned scientists and engineers, and provide them with the most advanced technology, to solve the world’s biggest health challenges.

These challenges demand a new approach, new energy, and new voices. They require a research lab where nothing is considered impossible, where bold and creative thinking are the norm, and where a collaborative culture allows teams of smart people to accomplish more than any single person can achieve alone.

Quantitative Cell Science

The map we need

Many diseases are caused by disruptions in the inner workings of cells or in the communication between cells. That’s why we support fundamental science focused on cell biology, showing how cells work in healthy people and, more importantly, what takes place when disease strikes.

Technology Platforms

Doesn’t exist? We’ll build it.

Access to data and tools expedites solutions and catalyzes innovation. Our technology platforms proactively identify and develop enabling technologies that advance biomedical research at CZ Biohub, our partner universities, and worldwide through our open-source dissemination policy. If it doesn’t exist, we will build it.

Investigator Program

Building Community to Catalyze Innovation

The CZ Biohub Investigator Program is funding research by world-renowned scientists, engineers, and technologists from UC Berkeley, Stanford, and UCSF. This funding is unrestricted, giving these extraordinary Investigators the freedom to pursue their riskiest, most exciting ideas. Many of these high-risk projects will involve the invention of new tools and techniques that accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and help CZ Biohub realize its vision of curing, preventing, or managing every disease by the end of the century.
