Chan: AI models will evaluate genetic variants of unknown significance
“And what you really want to do, and I think these models will be able to do is look at those variants and actually model out what is the impact in the different cells, how it influences cellular behavior and whether or not that is Tied to a pathway to disease …”
Chan: Scientists thought CZI's goal to cure all disease was crazy
“When we first set out that, the goal to cure and prevent disease by the end of the century, people, like, honestly, Most scientists couldn't look at us with a straight face. And they're like, you're crazy. Yes. And it was true because if you just decided to sp…”
Chan: CZI built a 1,000-GPU cluster and plans a 10,000-GPU expansion
“We were the first to really build a large-scale compute cluster. A thousand now where we have plans to move to the 10,000 range.”
Chan: Self-Organized Patient Cohorts Advanced Gene Therapy in Under Five Years
“There's gene therapy that one disease group has moved forward over the course of, like, I want to say, like, three to five years rather than decades, and the speed is so fast. Because the patients themselves have organized the resources that a scientist or a c…”
Chan: CZI Billion Cell Project takes months at fraction of historical cost
“Now we're doing the billion cell project and that is taking months and at a fraction of the price.”
Chan: Science has examined only a fraction of billions of human cell types
“We know there are billions of cell types in a human, and we've only truly looked at a fraction of them, and we looked at it in largely healthy cells.”
Chan: CZI is consolidating biohubs and AI teams into one philanthropy
“Under Alex's leadership, we are going to come together as the biohub, a an operating philanthropy where we are doing the science,”
Priscilla Chan: Cell by Gene powers many transcriptomic-based biological models
“And now Cell by Gene is a corpus of knowledge that a lot of the transcriptomic-based models are based off of and is used regularly by the scientific community.”
Chan: CELLxGENE corpus reached 125M cells with 75% community contribution
“It took us about 10 years to get to a place where we had, we now have one of the largest corpus of RNA transcriptones, a hundred and twenty-five million cells. Cost a lot of money. And the really cool thing we discovered through that process was if we could se…”
Chan: CZI funded 25% of CellbyGene, while the community provided 75%
“We only funded about 75% of it. Sorry, that's wrong. We've only funded 25% of it. 75% came from the broader community saying, this is useful, and there's an easy way for us to standardize and build this together.”
