Zuckerberg and Chan Promise $3 Billion to Cure Every Disease

Wired  

Getty Images Over the next decade, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan say they will invest $3 billion in a sweeping effort to cure all diseases in the lifetime of today's children. But until today, they have said little about how this giving would work---though they have invested in tech educational startups abroad, including one in Africa and another in India. To that end, the Initiative is first creating a $600 million "BioHub" in San Francisco that designed to foster collaboration among researchers at Stanford, UCSF, and UC Berkeley. "Our society spends fifty times more investing in treating people who are sick than in curing diseases so people don’t get sick," Zuckerberg said.
