Funding Forward: Advancing Neuroscience Breakthroughs: Allen Institute’s Brain Knowledge Platform on AWS
Join us as we hear from the Allen Institute for a deep dive into the Brain Knowledge Platform (BKP)—a first-of-its-kind, open neuroscience database and research tool designed to transform how the scientific community studies the brain.
Built on data from more than 34 million brain cells, the Brain Knowledge Platform unites massive, multimodal, high-resolution datasets—including single-cell and spatial transcriptomics—into a single, integrated resource. Developed by the Allen Institute with cloud and AI infrastructure support from Amazon Web Services (AWS), the BKP enables researchers to explore brain data with unprecedented depth and flexibility.
In this session, Allen Institute leaders will share the scientific vision behind the Brain Knowledge Platform and how partnership with AWS has enabled the platform’s scale, performance, and accessibility. The discussion will highlight how AWS computing capabilities continue to support a growing catalog of complex data into meaningful biological insight.
