Tissue and tumor atlases revolutionize our understanding of disease progression and therapeutic response. They provide precise molecular data on cell types, states, and interactions in a preserved 3D environment to improve diagnosis and disease management.

Navigating Spatial Biology

The Harvard Tissue Atlas (HTA) gathers image and -omic datasets into high-resolution molecular maps. Our atlases provide precise molecular data on cell types, states, and interactions in a preserved 3D environment, shedding light on the complex interactions between cellular and acellular structures in normal and diseased tissue. These data provide a deeper understanding of how diseases start and progress to improve disease diagnosis and management.

The Harvard Tissue Atlas datasets enable a foundation for future advances in precision medicine, such as early cancer detection, AI/ML predictive models, and disease stratification for clinical trials.
