Brain disease is tragic, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s time for a new approach to #brainhealth research.
That’s why we and our partners are launching the Brain Health accelerator.

accelerating science for a healthier world
- For the first time ever, we're opening our doors to the public! On Sept. 19, you're invited to get up close to our groundbreaking open science. Explore our building, look in our labs, and have fun at our activity stations. 🎟️ Free but RSVP is required: bit.ly/3U52zpb
- Our #CellLineOfTheWeek is Alpha Actinin 2! 🫀🧫 Our human iPS cell lines and plasmids – fluorescently-tagged to illuminate structures – are openly available to accelerate scientific discovery. 📦 Distributed by @Coriell_Science and @Addgene #OpenScience
- Neurons don't connect randomly. In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, a blue neuron's axon forms a connection to a far neuron. Along the way, it links to some neighbors while skipping thousands. Connectomics seeks to understand what makes those connections special.
- DYK the Allen Cell Catalog now includes disease-specific cell line collections? 🧫✨ Each collection carries mutations associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - the most common genetic heart condition in the world. Full catalog: allencell.org/disease-collec… @Coriell_Science
