Allen Institute for Cell Science: Highlights from 2018

Last year, the Allen Institute for Cell Science debuted a predictive 3D model for the organization of live human stem cells, used machine learning to predict cells’ organization from light micrographs, and introduced several new genome-edited human iPS cell lines.

Two years of glowing cells for science

The Allen Cell Collection, a suite of engineered stem cells built for discovery and translation, has been open to non-profit and academic use for two years. Now, they are also available for research in industry.

ASCB 2018 and Seattle Cell Science Symposium

See our video filmed at the 2018 ASCB | EMBO Annual Meeting, from the Cell Data in the Classroom session. This is an educator-driven discussion on the use of allencell.org resources in the classroom. Also last month, we hosted the third annual Seattle Cell Science Symposium, bringing together cell biologists from Seattle and nearby. See videos here.

Biophysical Society 2019

Meet scientists from the Allen Institute for Cell Science at the 2019 Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in March. Our booth will include information on our newest tools and resources, including the Allen Cell Structure Segmenter.
