The goal is to diversify neuroscience, empower local students interested in STEM, and increase accessibility to science by bringing it to communities that historically faced barriers to access.

The Allen Brain Observatory to play the same role in neuroscience that the Hubble Space Telescope plays in astronomy or that the Large Hadron Collider plays in physics.

Disease-specific cells developed by the Allen Institute for Cell Science offer a new window into the world's most common genetic heart condition.
