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.
HCA Staff, Committees and Working Groups have developed comprehensive Policies and Procedures to enable the creation of the first Human Cell Atlas. These include General Policies, and documents for ensuring high standards in Equity and Ethics, Data Release, and Atlas Assembly. Please see below for links and upcoming documents.
For general information on HCA, please see the About the Human Cell Atlas page and the FAQ. If you have any questions, please contact hca@humancellatlas.org.
