Join Allen Institute scientists for a one-day, hands-on workshop at MIT focused on helping researchers explore and use cell type taxonomy data and tools from the Brain Knowledge Platform. The workshop will begin with an accessible overview of what cell types are and how they are defined, followed by guided tutorials and interactive exercises using resources for exploring open datasets such as the Allen Brain Cell Atlas. Designed to be highly interactive and applicable across experience levels, the workshop will combine short presentations with individual and guided hands-on time to help participants build practical skills and confidence in applying these tools to their own research and teaching.

The workshop will close with an optional networking reception. Food and coffee/tea will be provided throughout the day. Registration is free, but required.
