Mission The mission of the Allen Institute is to understand the principles that govern life, and to advance health. Our creative and multi-dimensional teams focus on answering some of the biggest questions in bioscience. We accelerate foundational research, catalyze bold ideas, develop tools and models, and openly share our science to make a broad, transformational impact on the world.
Description We do science differently—bigger, bolder, and built to be shared with the world. From mapping every cell in the brain to decoding how the immune system fights disease and beyond, we operate at a scale designed to generate resources the entire scientific community can build on. Our commitment to open science means every breakthrough belongs to everyone.
We believe science is for everyone — and our workplace reflects that. At the Allen Institute, every person is respected, valued, and encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work each day. Different ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives aren’t just welcomed, they’re essential to our work, because different backgrounds and viewpoints make science stronger.
