2025 Neurobiology In Changing Environments

Details

We welcome you to the Neurobiology in Changing Environments symposium, a meeting dedicated to exploring the dynamic intersection of neurobiology and environmental change. Together, we will learn about emerging research, foster collaboration, and deepen our understanding of how neural systems interact with and adapt to evolving environmental landscapes. 

In a time where environments are undergoing rapid transformations, the need for interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the brain has never been more critical. This symposium serves as a platform to exchange ideas and cultivate a vibrant community of researchers committed to discovering how nervous systems respond, resist or recover from environmental challenges posed by human activity. 

During the event, you will hear from leading experts and connect with fellow scientists whose work complements (and may challenge) your own. We encourage you to embrace this moment not only to present your findings but also to engage in meaningful dialogue, ask thought-provoking questions, and form lasting connections that will drive the future of research into the field of neurobiology in changing environments. 

Thank you for contributing your expertise and passion to this gathering. Together, we are building a foundation for impactful science that will illuminate the complexities of neurobiology in our changing world.

Event Location 

The conference will take place at the Allen Institute, a 270,000-square-foot life sciences building, located in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle. The building is purpose-built for life science research and facilitates our trademark team science approach amid abundant natural light and with stunning views of the city.


Getting to Seattle

The Seattle-Tacoma International airport is the closest airport to the Institute, about a 30-minute drive from the Allen Institute.

    • From the airport, there are many options for getting to downtown Seattle and the Institute, including Link Light Rail, taxis, Uber/Lyft app-based ride shares, or Shuttle Express.
    • For the most up to date and comprehensive information on getting around Seattle refer to the Visit Seattle Getting Around Website.
    • For public transportation you can download the OneBusAway app for helpful, real time updates on arrival times.
