The Human Reference Atlas (HRA), an internal collaboration across 25+ consortia, is a groundbreaking effort to map the human body in unprecedented detail, from organs down to cells and biomarkers.

Using a common coordinate framework, new experimental data can be mapped into the HRA using cell type annotation tools, validated antibody panels, or spatial tissue registration. This enables researchers to harmonize information at scale to better understand changes that occur in the human body with aging, disease, and other perturbations. The HRA is a vital tool for advancing precision health and precision medicine, allowing us to tailor treatments and interventions more precisely to individual needs. This talk will explain how the HRA was constructed, demonstrate its role in precision medicine, and showcase interactive user interfaces and applications.

  • Prof. Katy Börner, Victor H. Yngve Distinguished Professor of Engineering and Information Science @ Indiana University
