Combat all diseases in the world

Combat all diseases in the world

It is a daily interest of many people: Facebook. We all know Mark Zuckerberg and maybe his wife Priscilla Chan too. Together the started the Chan-Zuckerberg initiative. And we are not talking about marriage. 

What do you if you are extremely ambitious? You set goals and realize your dreams. You want to solve world problems. At least that is what Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are doing. They have combined the ‘moon shot’ to combat all diseases in the world. Of course, a wonderful dream. Yet, to be honest, all diseases have also utility. But the Zuckerberg-Chan initiative has a clearly defined purpose.

The organization is called BioHub and has a plan that contains 3 billion US dollar. The amount of 3 billion US dollars is in stark contrast if we compare with the other billions invested in medical science. There are no doubts about that. But BioHub especially wants to renew the method of medical research and accelerate. This by making better connections between different sciences. It is not about the amount of money, but the connections that are made BioHub has top scientists who are going to help humanity in the field of medical science. BioHub consists of 47 scientists graduated from the best universities. They must lay the foundations for our society.

BioHub seeks the boundaries of science. The statement says the following:

with great risk, comes great return

BioHub has a rebellious mindset in the medical science. Something that we highly appreciate at Extend Limits. A great initiative that we will follow throughout the upcoming years.
