About Chan Zuckerberg Biohub
Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Inc directs large research grants to universities and medical research institutions for scientific and medical research. Its recent awards are dominated by multi-million-dollar commitments, including $12,786,641 to UC San Francisco in 2024 and $12,257,389 to Regents of the University of California San Francisco in 2025. Stanford also appears at the top of the list, with $11,626,018 to The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University in 2025 and $11,450,044 to Stanford University in 2024. The pattern points to a funder that backs major research systems rather than small project awards. The foundation’s stated mission is to cure or prevent all disease, and its existing focus areas show how it pursues that goal: cell biology, computational biology and AI for biology, imaging and microscopy, inflammation research, immune cell engineering, bioengineering, open-source scientific software and data platforms, and postdoctoral fellowships and investigator support. The grant list also shows sustained support for the University of California system and for other academic medical centers. Its program-related investment activity and large asset base place it among funders with the capacity to support long-term scientific infrastructure as well as research awards.
What Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Funds
Computational biology and AI for biology are central to the foundation’s work. In 2025 it gave $2,973,388 to the University of Illinois Foundation in Champaign for scientific and medical research, and the focus-area list identifies AI for biology as a standing priority. Its grantmaking also supports major academic research hubs in the Midwest and Northeast. Examples include $2,868,865 to the University of Chicago in 2025 and $2,826,739 to Northwestern University in 2025, both for scientific and medical research. The foundation backs open scientific infrastructure as part of its biomedical strategy. In 2025 it awarded $1,442,193 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, again for scientific and medical research, alongside focus areas that include open-source scientific software and data platforms. Research support extends to investigator-level capacity as well, with postdoctoral fellowships and investigator support listed among its ongoing focus areas.
