We are celebrating 20 years of science impact
Solving the mysteries of bioscience
Foundational Science Fuels Breakthroughs
Inspiring Next-Generation Scientists
Emerging and diverse leaders in neuroscience
Emerging neuroscience leaders
The purpose of the Next Generation Leaders Council at the Allen Institute is to formally recognize the importance of fresh and innovative contributions from scientists at early stages of their careers.
By selecting emerging leaders to participate in the Next Generation Leadership Council, we foster professional development by providing opportunities and informal training on how to serve as scientific advisors. The Next Generation Leaders gain direct experience with the model of collaborative team science embraced at the Institute, and act as Institute ambassadors with academic and industry colleagues.
