From micron to metre: crossing scales in the human body
Scientists progress towards mapping and modelling a complex, dynamic and ‘multiscale’ system: the human body.
Behind the Heart Cell Atlas
Histologists, cardiologists, immunologists, cell biologists, software developers, bioinformaticians and specialist technicians have worked together to see individual cells in unprecedented detail. Using spatial genomics, they located each cell to its precise location in the heart.
Swapping stethoscopes for sequencing – a doctor’s journey
Chenqu Suo looks back on her PhD, discussing her scientific highlights and her thoughts about what makes the Sanger Institute a special place to study.
Mapping the endometrium, cell by cell
Dr Roser Vento-Tormo tells us about her work to map the cells lining the uterus in space and time, how it epitomises her love of collaboration in science
A Cellular Landscape
The connections between the external and internal environments are explored in a new experimental short film ‘Call of the Silent Cell’. The film created was by artists working with scientists in the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) – a global project to map the 37 trillion cells in our bodies, and forms part of a new, online exhibition.
Championing Team Science
Professor Muzlifah Haniffa shares her thoughts achieving large-scale science.
Sarah Teichmann, an international pioneer of single cell research
We spoke to the Head of Cellular Genetics at the Sanger Institute about her life, career and the Human Cell Atlas.
Mapping the Human Cell Atlas – charting the body’s cellular world
The Human Cell Atlas is being used to guide future research into human development, biology, health, and disease.
The Human Cell Atlas: Understanding health to combat disease
Dr Kerstin Meyer, Principal Staff Scientist at the Sanger Institute, explains what it’s like to work on a such a huge, collaborative endeavour
