impact
Our research and open science resources are empowering scientists around the world to pursue bold solutions to the most pressing challenges in human health.
From the lab to the clinic to the classroom, the work of the Allen Institute is designed to create impact that compounds over time.
We generate foundational knowledge and tools that scientists everywhere build on — accelerating progress on diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer, autoimmune conditions, and more.
Our commitment to open science means every dataset, tool, and discovery we produce belongs to the world — multiplying our impact across the entire science community.
By examining brain cell types and connections across species at a refined level and at the most comprehensive scale – we are working towards understanding the structure and function of the human brain itself.

open science,
unlimited impact
Since our founding, the Allen Institute has made open science central to everything we do. We freely share our data, analytical tools, models, methods, and discoveries — so that scientists anywhere can build on our work and accelerate their own. Our open resources have been accessed by researchers in more than 200 countries, cited thousands of times, and used to advance research into some of the most devastating diseases affecting humanity today.
