Fueling Discovery
The Allen Institute for Brain Science is an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit medical research organization dedicated to performing innovative basic research on the brain and distributing its discoveries to researchers around the world. Through its efforts, the Institute aims to advance a new understanding of brain diseases and disorders.
The Institute takes on projects at the leading edge of science – far-reaching projects at the intersection of biology and technology. The resulting data and tools constitute free, publicly available resources that fuel innovation and discovery for countless researchers and organizations.
Launched in 2003 with a seed contribution from philanthropist Paul G. Allen, the Institute seeks federal and state funds, along with private contributions and foundation awards, as part of an ongoing public-private partnership to sustain the organization.
