Solving the mysteries of bioscience
We are an independent nonprofit bioscience research institute aimed at unlocking the mysteries of human biology through foundational science.
Foundational Science Fuels Breakthroughs
We are leaders in large-scale research that transforms our understanding of human health and disease and shapes how science is conducted worldwide.
Inspiring Next-Generation Scientists
To us, open science extends to inspiring the next generation of scientists by supporting access to science resources, research, and experiences.
Bio:
Agnes L. Bodor joined the Allen Institute in 2013 with over 10 years of experience in laboratory research. She is currently working to reconstruct the mouse visual cortex as a part of the neural coding group. Prior to joining the Allen Institute, Bodor was a scientist at the University of Washington where she used classical anatomical methods such as light and electron microscopy to examine the structure and connectivity of the songbird brain. Her current research interests include the use of cortical cell labels and electron microscopic serial sections to reconstruct the connectivity of the mouse visual cortex. This will help us to understand structure and connectivity in relation to function in the mammalian neocortex. Bodor received a baccalaureate degree in structural and functional neurobiology from Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest and a Ph.D. in neurobiology from Semmelweis University in Budapest, where she studied the ultrastructure of inhibitory synaptic innervation of the mammalian thalamus.
