Yale University is one of three partners that will form a new biomedical research hub announced by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). The mission of CZ Biohub New York, to be located in New York City, will be to bioengineer immune cells to detect the earliest stages of diseases—potentially allowing clinicians to intervene before they become symptomatic and detectable using current approaches. John Tsang, PhD, will lead Yale's team.

The Human Immunome Project (HIP) is an initiative that aims to collect immune data from blood and tissue samples from tens of thousands of people collected at hundreds of collection sites around the world to create the most diverse immune database ever constructed. The collected data will be used to investigate immune system differences across variables such as age, sex, race, diet and socioeconomic levels. The data will also be used to develop AI immune response prediction models. As a proof of concept, HIP will open 7-10 clinics this year, and expects to initiate global collection in 2027.
