Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Announces New Biohub to Develop Breakthrough Imaging Technologies to Observe Cells in Action

On March 26, 2025, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative announced a new grand challenge in Redwood City, California, uniting the CZ Biohub San Francisco and the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute to develop groundbreaking imaging technologies.
Building on the success of the San Francisco Biohub launched in 2016, CZI's model fosters collaboration across disciplines to tackle significant scientific challenges, such as understanding dynamic cell systems.
The combined teams of scientists, engineers, and AI/ML experts will develop breakthrough imaging technologies integrated with molecular analysis methods to capture biological processes across scales from individual proteins to whole organisms.
Priscilla Chan, co-founder and co-CEO of CZI, stated that these institutes are leveraging their strengths at a critical moment, where technology and scientific expertise can create novel tools to illuminate the hidden dynamics of complex systems.
Led by incoming president Scott Fraser, the unified Biohub, joining the CZ Biohub Network, will be based in Redwood City at the Elco Yards campus in 2027, aiming to transform how scientists observe and understand living cells and ultimately accelerate progress toward curing, preventing, or managing diseases.
