Like many research institutes around the country, the Allen Institute wound down most of its laboratory operations in March and many of our researchers and staff shifted to remote work in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is uncharted territory for all of us, but we remain very much open for science. While some of our lab experiments continue on-site, all our researchers are working hard from the lab or from home, analyzing data, synthesizing their insights into new manuscripts, and leading and participating in virtual workshops and conferences to continue sharing their work with colleagues. Of course, our data and resources remain open for anyone to access remotely at brain-map.org and allencell.org.
