The commitment of the human cell atlas to humanity.

Abstract

The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) is a global partnership to create comprehensive reference maps of all human cells-the fundamental units of life - as a basis for both understanding human health and diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease. ( https://www.humancellatlas.org/ ) The atlas shall characterize cells from diverse individuals across the globe to better understand human biology. HCA proactively considers the priorities of, and benefits accrued to, contributing communities. Here, we lay out principles and action items that have been adopted to affirm HCAs commitment to equity so that the atlas is beneficial to all of humanity.
