BRI Open House

Immuno-what? We can't wait to fill you in.

Save the Date for BRI's Open House

The immune system has had a busy four years, and we think it’s time for our experts to fill you in! Join us at our Open House on Tuesday, March 25 to learn more about BRI’s research and efforts to advance the science to predict, prevent, reverse and cure diseases of the immune system — like autoimmune diseases, cancer, asthma, allergies and COVID-19.

Open to anyone who has an immune system (ahem ... that’s everyone), this event will be informative and fun. We can’t wait to meet you, show you around, and answer your questions!

Event Details:

When: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 ‒ 4:30-6:30
Where: Benaroya Research Institute 1201 Ninth Ave, Seattle WA 98126
RSVP: Coming soon!

Nice Genes

How does BRI study the role genes play in autoimmune disease? What does single-cell analysis really mean, and how do we make sense of all that information?

In Reel Life

Remember when microscopes looked like this? Now, we can take movies of cells. Grab your popcorn and check it out!

Go With the Flow Cytometry

The Flow Cytometry Core at BRI is one of the busiest labs here! Get hands on and sort some cells while learning about what the incredible technology in this lab allows our scientists to do.

Imactful Banking

BRI's biorepositories are sometimes called bio-BANKs (get it?). At BRI, we are home to eleven biorepositories that allow our scientists to ask questions about human disease and get answers fast. This tour will show you behind the scenes and talk about how our biorepositories make BRI leaders in the human immune system.

Sound Life Project Update

The goal of the Sound Life Project was to understand the diversity of the immune system outside the context of disease, and how people with different immune systems that still fall within the “normal” range might respond differently to things like infection or vaccination. The 100 Sound Life Project Participants completed extensive surveys about their health history and lifestyle, submitted samples for standard clinical testing and deep immunological profiling at every visit, and completed weekly surveys updating us about their travel history and health. These extensive data have allowed us to ask interesting questions about healthy immune systems and we are ready to share what we've learned.

Our panel of researchers will be on hand to answer questions that have been submitted in advance as well as questions you have after your tours and time at BRI. Sign up early to attend.
