Broad Institute Research Platform and Collaborative Centers
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
Broad Institute provides a multidisciplinary research community and collaborative centers to accelerate biomedical discoveries and improve human health.
Target Customer
Academic researchers, healthcare researchers, pharmaceutical/biotech partners, technology partners, educators, and students
Key Differentiator
A large-scale, mission-driven research ecosystem that combines disease-focused centers, world-class technology platforms, and open-data resources to accelerate translation from discovery to health impact; strong emphasis on AI/ML integration and broad collaborations
Implementation Timeline
No formal customer implementation timeline is provided; examples of rapid deployment include the two-week lab conversion for COVID-19 testing, with ongoing data generation milestones (e.g., 500,000th genome sequenced by 2022; millions of tests processed by 2022).
Pain Points
