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 Medical Research Council has launched a £5.5m funding opportunity for UK-based researchers to contribute to the Human Cell Atlas through single-cell gene expression analysis and imaging. The competition is open to groups with access to healthy human tissue, and there is an opportunity to receive additional embryonic and foetal tissue for comparative analysis.

The competition is open to groups with access to healthy human tissue, and there is an opportunity to receive additional embryonic and foetal tissue for comparative analysis.
Through this activity we aim to bring together cell biology, precision molecular analytics, multi-scale imaging and cutting-edge bioinformatics to support the collaborative efforts of the Human Cell Atlas initiative.
The call is now open, and more information can be found here . Please note that standard UK Research and Innovation eligibility rules apply, and the deadline for applications is 6th November 2018.
