Welcome to the Allen Cell Explorer where you can access an unprecedented view into the organizational diversity of human stem cells through open data, tools, cell lines, plasmids, and models developed by the Allen Institute for Cell Science. All our scientific resources are openly available to support the cell biology community and accelerate discovery in human health and disease.
Highlights
New article published in Biophysical JournalWe just published a new Biophysical Perspective proposing an ambitious future for Cell Biology in the Biophysical Journal:
|
New article published in NatureDatabase of 200,000 cell images yields new mathematical framework to understand our cellular building blocks.
|
|
New article published in Nature MethodsThe Simularium Viewer makes it easy to share and interrogate interactive 3D visualizations of biological simulation trajectories and related plots directly in a web browser. Its primary goal is to facilitate collaborations among experimental and computational biologists by removing major challenges to sharing, accessing, and comparing simulation results.

We study the human cell holistically. To understand and predict cell behaviors, we develop and image high quality human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cell lines with genome editing to illuminate over 40 key cellular structures. This live cell imaging, together with image analysis, visualization tools and computational models enable novel interpretations of cell behavior by us and researchers around the globe.
Cells & plasmids for your lab
We have created a series of gene edited human iPSCs that we use as the foundation for our image data, and that we share with the larger scientific community.
