The Allen Institute for Cell Science is a research institute established by Paul Allen in Seattle, Washington on 8 December 2014.[1] The institute is modelled in large part on the Allen Institute for Brain Science and received the same initial financial commitment from Allen—US$100,000,000 over five years.[1][2] The two Institutes also share the same building.[2]
The focus of the institute will be "How does information encoded in our genes become living cells, and what goes wrong when a disease affects those cells?"[3] All data generated and research tools developed by the institute will be made publicly available online.[3]
The inaugural executive director for the institute is Rick Horwitz, formerly of the University of Virginia.[1]
Among those serving on the institute's science advisory board is Joan Brugge, chairwoman of the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School.[2]
