Additional $100 mio gift for Broad Institute

(MIT, November 14, 2013)

American philanthropists and entrepreneurs Eli and Edythe Broad announced they are investing an additional $100 million into the Broad Institute to launch a new decade of transformative work to harness recent biomedical discoveries to benefit patients. The Broad Institute was founded in 2003 as an unprecedented model of research collaboration, bringing together scientists from across the MIT and Harvard University communities, including the Harvard-affiliated teaching hospitals, and from diverse disciplines including biology, medicine, chemistry, and computer science. Over the last decade, Broad researchers have led pioneering work in human biology that forms the cornerstone of its next decade of research.
