- Fertile intellectual communities to integrate data science and artificial intelligence capabilities and applications and the recruitment of promising bioengineers, physicists, quantitative analysts and computational biologists.

- A Collaborative Grants Program to inspire cross-disciplinary research collaborations across the Harvard life sciences ecosystem

- The Blavatnik Harvard Life Lab Longwood to provide incubator space for early-stage, high-potential biotech start-ups
