Zuckerberg's Biohub leads $1.8B push for AI cell prediction models
biohub leads $1.8 billion effort to build ai models predicting cell behavior, aiming to speed up drug development.
biohub, a nonprofit backed by mark zuckerberg and priscilla chan, is leading a $1.8 billion initiative to build ai models that predict cell behavior, which could speed up drug development. the effort involves data, lab equipment, and compute, with contributions from meta, google deepmind, and isomorphic labs, totaling $300 million. the us department of energy is investing over $500 million in lab measurements and compute over five years. the national institutes of health are coordinating datasets built with more than $500 million in prior federal funding. biohub will standardize these datasets for ai training.
