Brain Science Podcast 61: Allen Institute for Brain Research
Posted: 11 Sep 2009 08:47 AM PDT
Allan Jones, PhD
Episode 61 of the Brain Science Podcast is an interview with Allan Jones,
PhD, the Chief Science Officer of the Allen Institute for Brain Research in
Seattle, Washington. The Allen Institute is a non-profit research
organization founded by Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) and is best
known for its Mouse Brain Map, which is being used by researchers around the
world. The Institute has several other on-going projects including a project
to create a map of the human cortex that shows which genes are active in
each area.
In this interview we discuss both the mouse brain project and the human
cortex project with an emphasis on the importance of these projects to
neuroscience research. All the maps created by The Allen Institute are
freely available on the internet. Dr. Jones also shares his own story and
the challenges and rewards of pursuing a career in the non-profit biotech
world.
