Chan Zuckerberg Biohub San Francisco
( CZ Biohub SF ) (https://www.czbiohub.org/sf/ ) is an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. CZ Biohub SF itself supports some of the brightest, boldest engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all.Our VisionWe pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environmentsWe enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideasThe technologies developed at CZ Biohub San Francisco facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyondDiversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence.
