Less than 2 months left to apply for the 2025 Shanahan Foundation Fellowship! This three-year fellowship gives Ph.D.s from non-neuroscience fields the mentorship and support to pursue their own research interests with our data. Apply by Dec. 16: https://lnkd.in/g-X9ysne

It sounds like the beginning of a zombie movie, but hear us out! Harmless viruses are helping us study the brain. We recently launched the Allen Genetic Tools Atlas - a browsable collection of enhancer AAVs, mouse transgenes, and more. The first release has an initial focus on the basal ganglia, but we're not stopping there. The Transmitter has the deep dive: https://lnkd.in/gfzExYy8

Our strength comes from multi-disciplinary teams working together toward our common goal - improving human health through the power of open science. We're actively seeking passionate and creative people to join us #AtAllenInstitute. https://lnkd.in/gvN7zU3U

We had a great time sharing how to bring open science into the classroom at the National Association of Biology Teachers Professional Development Conference! #NABT2024

We're thrilled to be hosting the inaugural Keystone Symposium on Interoception: Neural Sensing and Control of Organ Function! From April 22 to 24, 2025, join leading neuroscientists, immunologists, and clinicians as we explore the communication between our bodies and brains and its impact on health and disease. Keynote speakers include Nobel Prize Winner David Julius and Dr. Xin Sun, who will share their latest research on neuroendocrine cells and respiratory health. ?? Important Deadlines: Scholarship deadline: Jan. 22, 2025 Short talk abstract deadline: Jan. 22, 2025 Early registration deadline: March 4, 2025 Poster abstract deadline: March 31, 2025 Learn more and register today: https://lnkd.in/gCAdiQdW Keystone Symposia on Molecular & Cellular Biology | #KeystoneConferences #KSInteroception25 #neurobiology

What makes the human brain unique? Most diseases of the human brain are only seen in humans. By understanding what makes the human brain different, we can understand more about these unique diseases. #studyBRAIN
