The Human Cell Atlas is a global project to describe all cell types in the human body.[1] The initiative was announced by a consortium after its inaugural meeting in London in October 2016, which established the first phase of the project.[2][3] Aviv Regev and Sarah Teichmann defined the goals of the project at that meeting,[4] which was convened by the Broad Institute, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and Wellcome Trust.[5] Regev and Teichmann lead the project.[6]
