Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Microsoft, and Verily are partnering to accelerate the next generation of the Terra platform for health and life science research.
The Broad Institute aims to improve human health by using genomics to advance our understanding of the biology and treatment of human disease, and to help lay the groundwork for a new generation of therapies. Broad scientists pursue multidisciplinary projects that aim to meet the most critical challenges in biology and medicine:
Assembling a complete picture of the molecular components of life
Defining the biological circuits that underlie cellular responses
Unlocking the discoveries hidden inside complex sets of genomic and other biomedical data
Developing and de-risking new therapeutic avenues to treat serious, complex human disease by understanding the biological mechanisms
Discovering the molecular basis of major infectious diseases and overcoming antibiotic resistance
The teams involved in developing and operating Terra belong to the Data Sciences Platform, a methods development and software engineering group within the Broad Institute dedicated to maximizing the impact of the data sciences on the life sciences. DSP engineers, analysts, and designers build applications and capabilities to serve the Broad and beyond.
Our mission is to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. It’s enduring, and it drives everything we do. As part of Microsoft Technology and Research, Microsoft Health Next is a diverse team of researchers, clinicians, scientists, and other experts driving innovation in health and life sciences.
