The Biohub will specialize in engineering technologies to measure biological processes in human tissues at the molecular level.
-- A group founded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has picked Chicago to build a $250 million biomedical research lab.will bring together top researchers from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
The mission for researchers at the new Chicago location will be to create new technology to study human tissue in new ways – with the goal of understanding human health and fighting disease. The Biohub will specialize in engineering technologies to measure biological processes in human tissues at the molecular level – so as to understand and treat more effectively the inflammatory states that underlie many diseases, according to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The Biohub will use the measurement to learn how immune cells can malfunction, causing disease.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative notes that inflammation and overactive immune cells play a major role in many diseases – including cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease – and are also involved in organ failure and severe infectious diseases suchaas COVID-19."Illinois continues to grow as a thriving innovation hub with world-class research institutions and top-tier talent," Gov. JB Pritzker said in a news release congratulating Chan Zuckerberg.
