Multicellular organisms have specialized cells with distinct functions. The organization and variability of these cells have a profound impact on the function of different tissues, process of aging, and emergence of diseases and conditions. Recently developed technologies are allowing researchers to explore cells on the individual (single cell) level and provide an opportunity to better understand how tissue organization influences cellular function. The NIH Common Fund Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) will catalyze development of an open, global framework for comprehensively mapping the human body at a cellular resolution leading to a deeper multidimensional description of individual cells within their functional and 3D tissue context. HuBMAP, which launched in the fall of 2017, will scale‐up the scope of tissues, technologies, data management, and community engagement over the course of the program. This program is made up of four initiatives (Tissue Mapping Centers; Technology Development; HuBMAP Integration, Visualization and Engagement (HIVE); Data Demonstration Projects) which will be described in this presentation.This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.
