Mark and Chan Zuckerberg are set to invest $250 million in a new biological research lab in Chicago. According to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative’s website, the lab will “develop new technologies for studying & measuring human biology that will use embedded sensors and probes to collect biological signals from human tissues with unprecedented resolution.” “This [project] requires bringing together researchers and technologists in new ways to accomplish great science that isn’t done in conventional environments,” said Mark Zuckerberg. The CZI website went on to say: “By embedding thousands of sensors & sampling probes in tissues, scientists will be able to monitor molecular and cellular signals with unprecedented resolution, and reveal how disruptions in these processes lead to inflammation and disease.”
