The mission of the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute (CZII) is to enable deep insights into the architecture of complex biological systems at the molecular level, through the development and application of novel imaging technologies. The initial grand challenge for CZII is to develop technologies and methodologies to image the molecular architecture of the cell to near atomic resolution using cryo-electron tomography. I will describe our plans and progress on the platforms, technologies and driving biological projects that have been initiated towards these goals.
