Cell Type Taxonomies A-Z: Webinar Series (2025 + recordings)

How many brain cell types are there? What is their form, function, and how do they connect? Teams at the Allen Institute for Brain Science are working to answer these foundational neuroscience questions. By cataloguing and genetically profiling cell types of the brain with incredible precision and detail, we are working to improve our fundamental understanding of brain development, evolution, and disease.

Join us for a webinar series to learn all about the ins and outs of the Allen Institute’s open data and cell type taxonomy tools. We will start at the very beginning with answering questions such as: What’s a cell type? What’s a taxonomy? As the series progresses, we will dive into deeper questions such as: What are the techniques used to define cell types? How do cell types relate across species?

We will be addressing these questions and more during our live and interactive webinars. Register for the webinar…
