science done differently. shared openly.

explore our accelerators

brain science

Mapping every cell, connection, and circuit in the brain—openly shared with the world.

cell science

Decoding how cells become tissues, then programming that knowledge into powerful new research tools.

neural dynamics

Revealing the brain's hidden algorithms that transform neural activity into real-world behavior.

immunology

Creating the deepest open reference for the healthy human immune system ever built.

synthetic biology

Engineering cells to record their own histories, transforming how we understand disease over time.

Brain Health

Accelerating human brain research and new therapeutic strategies for neurological conditions

research

Big questions, open answers, and science built to be shared.

education

Inspiring the next generation of scientists through open science resources.

impact

Our science is empowering researchers and advancing health worldwide.
