"Greater Boston is a hub of medical, biotechnological, academic and journalistic expertise. The combination of Boston University’s medical school and journalism department makes it a natural spot for locating a new center that will help broaden our society’s understanding of medicine and medical research"

— Dr. W. Gerald Austen, chairman of the Knight Foundation Board of Trustees and former chief of surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital
