DescriptionThe Allen Institute for Cell Science aims to understand the principles by which human induced pluripotent stem cells organize and change throughout differentiation and disease. We have recently begun implementing a plan to adjust our computational infrastructure to maximize the impact of both our science and dissemination. I will describe how small adjustments in the way our researchers perform their work, enabled by large changes in our compute infrastructure and migration to the cloud, will enable more powerful science that is also robust and reproducible, as well as data and tools that are more useful, reusable, and easier to disseminate. Within that context, this talk will survey many of the machine-learning and other analysis tools that we currently apply or develop in our research towards integrated whole cell quantification and modeling, along with challenges we face in using and disseminating these resources. I will then describe a major democratization-of-science project we work on to present the Simularium Viewer as a user-friendly, open-source application that makes it easy to share and interrogate interactive 3D visualizations of biological simulation trajectories directly in a web browser at https://simularium.allencell.org.
