BICAN Events

How does the brain build itself? What sparks the transformation from a handful of cells into a complex organ that powers thought, emotion, and behavior? We will present the findings from a collection of scientific works aimed at mapping brain development in extraordinary detail.

Learn all about the ins and outs of the Allen Institute’s open data and cell type taxonomy tools!

A comprehensive four-day virtual event on Zoom, dedicated to exploring cutting-edge tools and methodologies in the omics ecosystem. Engage with leading experts and enhance your skills through interactive discussions and demonstrations.

This webinar will present results from the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (biccn.org) recently published in Science that describes the first draft of a brain-wide cell atlas of the adult human brain. Tools to visualize these data and for users to map their own data against will be described.

This webinar presents a new collection of papers reporting the first complete cell type atlas of a mammalian brain. Key researchers will present their studies and there will be time for Q&A with the paper authors.

This public webinar will guide participants through the Cell Types Knowledge Explorer (CTKE) (https://knowledge.brain-map.org/celltypes), a web tool that supports exploring individual cell types in M1. Watch the recording at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJRBQzZLX4s
