Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will join forces on a new research institute funded by a $100 million grant from Eli and Edythe Broad. Also involved in the project will be the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research.

The Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute will include researchers in the fields of biology, medicine, engineering, and chemistry and will study the application of genomic research to the causes and treatments of diseases. The institute's goal is to address the causes of diseases rather than simply treating symptoms.

Harvard and MIT will try to raise another $200 million in private funding for the institute. New York Times, 20 June 2003
