On Sept. 21, 2016, the University of California, Berkeley, UC San Francisco and Stanford University joined forces in a new medical science research center funded by a $600 million commitment from Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg and pediatrician Priscilla Chan.

Headquartered next to UCSF’s Mission Bay campus, with a satellite site at Stanford, the Biohub will provide basic researchers and clinical scientists with flexible laboratory space, the latest technological tools and funding for ambitious research projects.
