Our mission

Understanding variation in human brain biology

To create an atlas of the profound variation in human brain biology using the latest single-cell and spatial omics technologies, to share this resource with the scientific and public communities, and to expand our understanding of the ways the human brain varies in both healthy and neurological conditions.

Research focus

Inter-Individual Variation

As cell-census research moves from cell atlases of laboratory organisms to humans, our greatest challenge and opportunity involves inter-individual variation.
