Biohub: The Future of Biology is Open-Source with Mark Zuckerberg, Priscilla Chan, and Alex Rives
Biohub commits $500M to open-source AI virtual biology models, having folded 1.1 billion proteins.
“We folded over 1.1 billion proteins and predicted their structures.”— Mark Zuckerberg
Zuckerberg and Chan's Biohub is committing $500M to a virtual biology initiative that applies AI at scale to build world models of cells and proteins, releasing the tools as open-source projects. Rather than curing diseases directly, the goal is to accelerate the entire scientific field with foundation models that understand protein structure and design, signaling a major push of AI into biology by a power player.
