Our mission: 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
Join us in Perth for discussions in single-cell and spatial research and to help further the HCA mission of building a globally representative atlas, especially within Asia. Find out more about our speakers here: buff.ly/xZQKmv3 #SingleCell #SpatialGenomics #HCA2026Asia
Angela Wu (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) is a leader in bridging genomics & microfluidics to develop high-resolution single-cell tools that advance our understanding of gene regulation and complex biological systems, and disease mechanisms.
#KeynoteSpeaker #HCA2026Asia
Fuchou Tang (@pku1898.bsky.social), pioneered whole transcriptome single-cell RNA seq and is a leader in multi-omics technologies and mapping the epigenetic landscape, advancing our understanding of gene regulation and development.
#KeynoteSpeaker #HCA2026Asia
Peter Kharchenko (@IMBA_Vienna) is a pioneer in computational and statistical methods for single-cell and spatial genomics, developing scalable frameworks that enable the analysis of complex cellular heterogeneity across large datasets.
