The Human Cell Atlas is a global project to describe all cell types in the human body, to understand human health and for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease.

The global scientific consortium has a network of more than 3,600 members in 102 countries. The project is making data and resources publicly available, and aims to create an open, ethical and representative atlas to benefit humanity.

As of 2024, the project has mapped approximately 62 million human cells into 18 Biological Networks, which includes cells from vital systems such as the nervous system, lungs, heart, intestine and immune system.
