The Allen Institute’s 2026 Next Generation Leaders (NGL) cohort features eight talented researchers exploring the frontiers of bioscience and pursuing insights into biology with the potential to advance human health.
“We are so excited to welcome the newest cohort of Next Generation Leaders to the Allen Institute community,” said Julie Harris, vice president of Science Initiatives at the Allen Institute. “These exceptional early-career scientists are on a path to transform bioscience fields, and we look forward to being part of their journey.”
The NGL program began in 2014 and highlights the vital contributions of early-career researchers to the field of science. Each NGL will complete a three-year term and contribute to ongoing research across the Allen Institute. They will engage with big, team, and open science practices, and ultimately act as ambassadors for the Allen Institute.
The program fosters a vital exchange of scientific expertise and experience while building a collaborative community of researchers across different organizations. This environment gives NGLs the chance to engage in cutting-edge research at the Allen Institute and its mission-driven accelerators propelled by big, team, and open science principles. The Allen Institute benefits through their fresh perspectives, creativity, and advice, which can help shape current and future directions.
