Unraveling the mysteries of the human immune system in health and disease
About us
The Allen Institute for Immunology will work to understand the dynamic balancing act of the human immune system, how it senses friend from foe and what goes wrong when we’re ill. This will help us to improve immune health and how we diagnose, treat and prevent immune-related diseases. Everything we do begins with patients who are living with and suffering from these diseases. We believe that by unlocking the mysteries of the immune system, we can make a significant improvement in patients’ health and well being.

As part of our Human Immune Health Atlas release from the Allen Institute for Immunology, we built a UMAP viewer for interactive data exploration that can handle millions of cells simultaneously. Christian La France overcame a series of technical hurdles to make a beautiful, responsive, and extensible tool that we can build on in future releases. You can explore the data with our Human Immune Health Atlas UMAP Explorer here: https://lnkd.in/gk_DFUPW The data and analyses that went into building this resource are described here: https://lnkd.in/gj5fhEks

Explore Nature’s Palette: A tale of science and art
From the deep blues and greens of T cells to the earthy orange hues of monocytes – two sisters, a scientist and an artist, teamed up to visually represent cell types of the human immune system using natural earth pigments. 🌱🧬 Meet Claire Gustafson, Ph.D., a scientist who studies how our body’s defenses change as we age, and her sister Heidi Gustafson, an artist who crushes stone to reveal vibrant colors that tell stories of the land. In this tale of science and art – Claire and Heidi join forces for a unique collaboration to give greater beauty and meaning to complex scientific data. #Immunology #Science #Art #OpenScienceWeek 🔗 Link in the comments.

To understand disease, we must understand the healthy immune system, deeply and across the human lifespan. Thanks to the dedication of ~100 healthy volunteers and many research teams, we are proud to share the Human Immune Health Atlas. This atlas serves as a comprehensive single-cell reference dataset that offers unprecedented insight into the landscape of healthy human immune cells from childhood through adulthood. The Atlas was developed through collaborations with Benaroya Research Institute and University of Pennsylvania. These clinical partners collected blood samples from healthy volunteers spanning three age groups: 11-13, 25-35, and 55-65. Our immunology researchers then conducted deep single-cell RNA sequencing analysis on these samples, using advanced computational tools to define an unprecedented level of immune cell diversity and age-related dynamics.

More than a third of Hispanic adults in the U.S. suffer from symptoms of long COVID. Our own Troy Torgerson and Samir Rachid Zaim, PhD spoke with WA Latino News about our collaboration with the Latino Center for Health and Fred Hutch to better understand what's driving the high rates here in Washington state and what are the unique care needs of the community.
Seattle researchers say more resources are needed for Latinos with long COVID

ICYMI - Together with Seattle Children's Research Institute, we're launching the Seattle STRIDE study, an initiative to unravel the molecular mysteries of pediatric IBD through deep immune profiling. More about the study: https://lnkd.in/gEpEd-UG #pediatricIBD
Hope for kids with IBD: New trial aims to improve treatment

In honor of World IBD Day, Seattle Children’s would like to thank the many researchers and providers who are working relentlessly to bring better treatment options to children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a lifelong condition with no current cures; once a person begins treatment, they continue treatment indefinitely. Seattle Children’s just launched a first-of-its-kind pediatric research study to better understand how and why inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) begins, with the goal of ultimately personalizing treatment plans for each patient. The Seattle STRIDE study, to be conducted exclusively at Seattle Children’s in partnership with the Allen Institute for Immunology, will harness single cell spatial transcriptomics and single cell multi-omics to understand how genes and other molecules behave in individual cells of patients who haven't been treated yet. Children with IBD typically must try multiple treatments and medications over time to find one that works best. Researchers hope that the information gained from the Seattle STRIDE study will not only improve treatment options, but also inform the decisions on how to treat each patient, reducing the number of treatments patients must undergo. The study is recruiting participants ages 6 to 18 years old over a three-year period. Learn more about the STRIDE study on https://lnkd.in/gb__TNEE
