Spatial Atlas of Human Anatomy

About

Mapping the human body in unprecedented resolution and complexity.

The Spatial Atlas of Human Anatomy (SAHA) is a groundbreaking initiative to create the most detailed, multimodal spatial map of the healthy human body ever assembled. By capturing spatial omics data across diverse individuals—spanning age, gender, and ancestry—SAHA reveals how genes, proteins, cells, and tissues are organized and interact in their native environment. This comprehensive reference is designed to advance our understanding of human biology, improve diagnostics, and accelerate discoveries in precision medicine.

Impact

IMPACT

As part of generating the first multi-modal, multi-platform, and multi-organ spatial maps at the highest resolution in human history, current SAHA tissue mapping efforts encompass the stomach, liver, pancreas, small intestine (ileum), large intestine (including descending colon and appendix), bone marrow, lymph nodes, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). These datasets are derived using high-plex spatial transcriptomics and proteomics platforms, including CosMx and Xenium, and are integrated with corresponding clinical metadata, histopathological annotations, and imaging data. Additional organs will be incorporated in forthcoming updates as the next phase of mapping progresses.
