Overview

Governor Kathy Hochul, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative today announced plans for the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub New York, a new biomedical research hub in New York City that will leverage a nearly $300 million public-private investment to drive collaboration between leading research institutions and solve significant scientific challenges. CZ Biohub NY will bring together experts from Columbia University, The Rockefeller University, and Yale University to focus on early disease prevention, detection, and treatment — particularly for ovarian and pancreatic cancers and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s — and further propel New York City’s thriving life sciences sector as a major job creator and economic engine in New York City.
