Deepening our understanding of the immune system

The Allen Institute for Immunology works to understand the delicate balancing act of the human immune system—how it works when we’re healthy, and what goes wrong in disease.

Our studies and data on the immune system lead to actionable insights that will help scientists find treatments and therapies for immune-related diseases.

The Human Immune System Explorer

The Human Immune System Explorer is a portal for exploring the Allen Institute for Immunology’s research, analyses, methodology, visualization tools, data, and other resources.

Our Approach

To truly understand the human immune system, we must look at it through many different lenses and at multiple time points. The Allen Institute for Immunology is made up of teams that focus on specific areas, so together we can gain a more complete picture of the immune system in different contexts.
