Global science lies at the edge of a new age of discovery thanks to advances in synthetic biology driving innovations that could reshape human health. Synthetic biology involves redesigning organisms at a cellular level to grant them new abilities. It is, at first blush, the stuff of science fiction; but in fact, it is a reality here in Seattle. In this episode of Lab Notes, we explore the promise and potential of this exciting field with some of the leading minds spearheading efforts ...

Lab Notes | The Digital Brain: Unlocking the Mind's Virtual Twin
How does the brain work? Scientists are closer to answering this enigma with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. In April 2025, the Allen Institute, as part of a global team, unveiled what was once thought impossible: a high-resolution functional map of a cubic millimeter of brain, revealing both form and function. In this Lab Notes episode, the Allen Institute’s Clay Reid, M.D., Ph.D., Nuno da Costa, Ph.D., and Forrest Colman, Ph.D., and scientific col...
