The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is building a massive GPU cluster for decoding biology with AI.
“Our mission is to cure, prevent, and manage all disease by the end of the century,” - Patricia Brennan, CZI’s vice president.
The cluster will be one of the largest computing systems dedicated to nonprofit life science research in the world.
It is focused on developing enabling tools, technologies, and data that will advance and empower additional scientific discovery.
Made progress in algorithms and data, exemplified by their work on imaging and single-cell biology.
Created and aggregated large datasets of single-cell data and protein localization and interaction data.
Developing AI software, such as CellGuide and a portal for querying cryoET data.
CZI believes that there is an opportunity to bring together all the developments in large language models, computational power, and AI to decode biology.
