The integrated HCA v1 Human Gut Cell Atlas is now available on the HCA Data Portal! Integrating nearly 1 million single cells from 265 donors, the #Gut Atlas is a reference map to understand gut health and diseases like Crohn’s.

Huge congratulations to everyone in the HCA Gut Biological Network for the HCA v1 Gut Cell Atlas. The team successfully harmonised 24 studies across the length of the gut.

Many thanks to our exclusive foundational sponsor @10xGenomics for their generous support of the #HCA2026Asia meeting.
Thanks to our Platinum sponsors @Illumina and @businesseventsperth, and also our Gold Sponsors @Vizgen, @ElemBio, @Roche, Seekgene and OMRI/Government of Western Australia, for helping make the #HCA2026Asia Meeting possible.
As we celebrate a decade of collaboration, HCA Co-Founder Sarah Teichmann shares why she and Aviv Regev joined forces to bring this international scientific consortium together. Hear Sarah tell the story.

Looking forward to gathering leaders of the HCA Biological Networks, Regional Networks, and Working Groups in London on 17-18 November for strategy sessions on HCA 2.0: The Rosetta Stone for Predictive Biology. Grateful to @Wellcometrust for hosting!
The HCA 2.0 “Rosetta Stone” will synergize with parallel efforts such as the new Virtual Biology Initiative buff.ly/6BxfnhM. It’s encouraging to see so many partners coming together with a shared vision!

On the tenth Anniversary of the launch meeting, we celebrate the first decade of the #HumanCellAtlas and what’s to come, with reflections from HCA Co-Founders Sarah Teichmann and Aviv Regev, and new Co-Chairs Muzlifah Haniffa and Alexandra-Chloé Villani. buff.ly/LMdeK3J
The HCA’s communities, organized into Biological Networks and Regional Networks, guided by Working Groups, are assembling the #HumanCellAtlas.
The first draft #HumanCellAtlas of healthy tissues is now within sight, with publication planned in 2027. Meanwhile, ambitious plans for the next phase - HCA 2.0 - are already underway. This will map billions of cells, in 2D and 3D and include disease.
Fabulous to see this editorial from @NatureBiotech, highlighting HCA achievements and technologies over the past 10 years, and the ambitious plans for the future. Watch this space!

#HCA2026Asia #Genomics
Immediately before the #HCA2026Asia meeting we have a session on 2 November highlighting the work done by Early-Mid Career Researchers (EMCR) in the region.
In addition, following the main #HCA2026Asia programme, you can also join a meeting on 5 November, on the Asian Immune Diversity Atlas (AIDA), the HCA Asia flagship project that seeks to understand population-specific immune variation and disease risk in Asians.
