Briefings

Biohub, a Zuckerberg-backed nonprofit, launched a five-year initiative in April 2026 to create open, multi-modal datasets for human cell predictive models. Companies funding these projects receive early access to the data. The initiative overlaps with Anthropic's biological expansion and OpenAI's grant program, though Biohub supplies the data while Isomorphic Labs acts as a funder. This collaboration aims to accelerate research on human cell predictive models within five years.

Key points

• Biohub launched a five-year initiative in April 2026 to build open, multi-modal datasets for predictive models of the human cell.
