Don't miss the last two 2020 Scientist of Color Speaker Series seminars & mark your calendars for 2021

11/7/2020

 
Picture
Omar Quintero is an associate professor of biology at the University of Richmond who sits on a Project Advisory Council for the Allen Institute for Cell Science that is focused on developing cutting edged tools for education. In the period directly after the killing of George Floyd and the nationwide protests against systemic racism that followed, Quintero, considered how he might find a way to support the work and careers of Black scientists. He decided to develop a seminar, the 2020 Scientist of Color Speaker Series. (–paraphrased from the article below)

New cell line lets researchers use CRISPR to reversibly switch off genes

10/23/2020

 
​CRISPR interference technique enables study of basic cell biology and disease in human stem cells​
Picture
The CRISPR interference technique allows new explorations of human cells. Here, Allen Distinguished Investigator Martin Kampmann, Ph.D., and his colleagues used the method to reduce levels of a dementia-associated protein known as progranulin, shown in green on the left, in human neurons by dialing down the progranulin gene in the cells on the right.

Cytiva licenses Allen Institute’s advanced machine learning technology to develop new cell imaging techniques

8/7/2020

 
Strategic license to advance the field of 3D and live cell imaging.
Picture
Figure 1. Images from our collection of cells can be used to generate models that produce integrated images of 3D subcellular structures—all from an input brightfield image of a field of cells. Cell segmentations can then be applied to the predictions to determine structure localization for individual cells.
​Cytiva and the Allen Institute have entered into a license agreement to integrate the Allen Institute’s machine learning technology with Cytiva’s microscopy and image analysis systems to advance the development of cell imaging innovations....

Distance Learning for Cell Biology. Webinar Today April 14

4/13/2020

 
Join us Tuesday, April 14, at 10am PT for this free webinar:
​Distance Learning for Cell Biology: A virtual laboratory for teaching Mitosis

As part of our mission to support open science, the Allen Institute shares all of the data we generate freely for anyone to use in research or teaching. This enables students to conduct online experiments for distance learning. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to run a ready-to-use, fully online virtual lab experiment with your students.

Allen Institute for Cell Science Debuts First Comprehensive View of Human Cell Division

5/22/2019

 
Picture
The Allen Institute today released the Integrated Mitotic Stem Cell, a data-driven model and visualization tool that captures — for the first time — a holistic view of human cell division. By enabling a deeper understanding of how healthy human cells divide, a process known as mitosis, the model will further basic biology research as well as studies of cancer, a disease that often results from cell division gone awry.

Seattle Cell Science Symposium 2018

12/4/2018

 

An open house showcasing Seattle-area cell biology research

Picture
Join us for the third annual Seattle Cell Science Symposium, a full-day event showcasing research in the Seattle-area cell biology community. 
The Seattle Cell Science Symposium is an event for scientists in our region to share current work through presentations, lightning talks and poster sessions. Community engagement and open science are central principles of the Allen Institute for Cell Science, and we look forward to the Seattle community coming together for this event.
Event highlights include:
  • Presentations from researchers in the Seattle area
  • Research goals and progress at the Allen Institute for Cell Science
  • Dynamic poster session
