Zuckerberg and Chan aim to tackle all disease by 2100 - BBC News

Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have pledged 3bn ( 2.3bn) to fund medical research over the next decade. At a press conference in San Francisco, they said their ultimate goal was to "cure, prevent or manage all diseases by the end of the century". The funds will be distributed by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which they created in December 2015. Tech leaders are increasingly turning their attention to health. Earlier in the week, Microsoft said it intended to "solve" cancer by using artificial intelligence tools.
