Solving the mysteries of bioscience
Foundational Science Fuels Breakthroughs
Inspiring Next-Generation Scientists
Exploring human cells – the building blocks of our bodies – to holistically and dynamically predict and understand health and disease.
Goals and Approach
Using advanced technologies to study the cell and its components as an integrated system, teams at the Allen Institute for Cell Science are working to understand a cell’s history and predict its future by looking at its present makeup and state. A deep holistic understanding of dynamic cellular behavior will ultimately help scientists better understand and predict disease.
Understanding how cells grow and develop, and being able to predict their future path, is essential for understanding human health.
In service of that aim, the Allen Institute for Cell Science generates fluorescently tagged human induced pluripotent stem cell lines connected to important cellular processes and makes these lines openly available to the scientific community. These teams also generate dynamic, high-resolution 3D images of live cells and develop predictive models and analysis tools that increase understanding of this vital building block of life.
