Any education technology must be designed and built alongside educators so that it addresses their needs

Welcome to my lab with UC Berkeley’s Holger Müller for a behind-the-scenes look at how his lab is building new tech to improve electron microscopy + make the invisible visible 👀

Do you know someone with a neurodegenerative condition?

👉 We’re unlocking new understanding of these diseases and advancing new strategies to treat or prevent them

Human intelligence 🤝 Artificial Intelligence

Scientists at Harvard University’s Kempner Institute at Harvard University are uncovering new insights about natural intelligence with the help of #AI

To prevent a disease from developing, we need to know how it starts. That can be difficult for diseases that begin before birth.

Enter organoids. Jason Spence is using mini organoids to map pediatric respiratory + digestive diseases cell by cell

Why does aging make cells more vulnerable to diseases like Alzheimer’s?

Deborah Kronenberg + Henner Koch + Thomas Wuttke developed a new tissue system to study this in greater detail so we can better understand & treat neurodegenerative disease

Imagine if we could use ultrasound to detect changes in tumor cells in real-time.

Mikhail Shapiro 🇺🇦 is #ImagingTheFuture by creating acoustic biomolecules—the first-of-its-kind contrast agent that will allow ultrasound #tech to image the functions of cells deep in the body

Imagine stepping into a holograph of the brain 🧠 😵‍💫

#CZBiohubSF investigators are working on new optogenetic + holographic tech that could illuminate the neural activities shaping our thoughts, emotions & diseases. Here's how: bit.ly/493i5DO

Why we do what we do 🙌

Our co-founder Priscilla Chan reflects on building our #AI strategy & helping scientists explore the molecular underpinnings of human health + disease ➡️ czi.co/3xwql2h

Some of the most intricate neurons are located in this part of the brain—the cerebellum.

By using CRISPR to better understand the genetics of these cells in their natural environment, a collaborative team of researchers hopes to uncover new paths to treating neurodegeneration

“Visualizing brain circuits under the microscope, that blew my mind.” No pun intended 🤯

Soiza-Reilly Lab🇦🇷🔬🐀 🧠🧉 is helping build an international network of imaging scientists who work with array tomography to accelerate progress in treating brain disorders

#DYK ? There are 10,000+ rare diseases that impact over 300 million people worldwide. We’re strengthening rare disease patient organizations & supporting patient-partnered research
#RareAsOne

Nanosensors are neat! 🧪 They can detect chemical processes in our bodies, giving scientists key information about our cells.

Researchers Kevin Cash + @joshuabrake are leveraging the power of this imaging solution to develop affordable tools for small universities

“What drives me most is to see how students and researchers become excited to see live imaging—and how they become proud of their data when bioimaging is part of their work.”

-Gustavo Menezes on how he’s democratizing access to imaging tech in Brazil

#ImagingTheFuture

Rajesh Menon is ✨ not just✨ interested in creating tech that can capture fine detail, color, texture + movement of our cells in real time. He also wants to make this technology accessible & cost-effective so that it can be widely used in the field of #biology 💗

Can we harness the immune system to monitor health & eradicate disease?

#CZBiohubNY will tackle this ambitious challenge

ICYMI ➡️ Watch the vital conversation I had with rare disease experts at this year's SXSW. Learn how Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is accelerating patient-driven research and helping provide unwavering support to families. 💙
#CZIPartner

.@SummitSpark launched in 2015 with 19 schools in 10 states and D.C. Since then, the program has served more than 200,000 students + spanned over 43 states over the years.
