In this hackathon-style workshop, attendees will be introduced to single cell- and spatial transcriptomic datasets from the Allen Institute and their collaborators, while working in teams to use these datasets for data analysis, tool creation, model development, and more.

Join the Allen Institute for Cell Science and Circuit Neuroscience Basel in Seattle, Washington, April 20–22, 2026, for a 3 day conference.

GABAergic, glutamatergic, dopaminergic – if this is how you classify your cell types, this workshop is for you! In this workshop, participants will gain in-depth exposure on how Allen Institute defines “cell types” and work with direct, applicable examples of how to use the Allen Institute’s free, open resources & tools for research.

Join us for the third annual BrainFest, a day of brainy fun for all ages.

Explore the science behind the data with presentations by Allen Institute scientists & staff for a full guide to brain cell types and taxonomies.

Join the Allen Institute for the Open Science in Undergraduate Education Symposium in Seattle, Washington from June 16-18, 2025. This interactive symposium brings together those working to integrate open science into undergraduate education for a program consisting of keynote speakers, workshops, and short talks and posters from abstract submissions. This 2.5-day inaugural symposium will focus on sharing knowledge and learning from each other within the broad field of Biology. Informal networking will be encouraged through shared meals and breaks.
