No­vo Nordisk Foun­da­tion tees up $47.5M to ex­plore the dri­vers of ge­net­ic dis­ease with the Broad In­sti­tute

The Broad In­sti­tute of Har­vard and MIT played a sig­nif­i­cant role in map­ping out genes as part of the Hu­man Genome Project about two decades ago. Now, it’s join­ing forces with one of the in­dus­try’s largest re­search foun­da­tions in an ef­fort to trans­late those maps.
