To create comprehensive reference maps of all human cells—the fundamental units of life—as a basis for both understanding human health and diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease.
The Human Cell Atlas will impact almost every aspect of biology and medicine, ultimately leading to a richer understanding of life’s most fundamental units and principles.
Aiming to map every cell type in the human body, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) will transform our understanding of biology and disease, and could lead to major advances in the way illnesses are diagnosed and treated.
