The Human Cell Atlas: towards a first draft atlas

Established in 2016, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium set out to create a comprehensive biological map of cells within the human body. Now progressing into a data integration phase, the HCA is working towards assembling the first draft of this atlas, focusing on 18 biological network atlases. Towards this milestone, they have compiled a collection of papers that highlight essential achievements of this new stage.

Register here to join a webinar with HCA co-founders Aviv Regev and Sarah Teichmann. They will discuss the latest research from the consortium and provide insights on the importance and challenges of building a Human Cell Atlas.
