Gut Cell Atlas

Following on from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative funded project, this Helmseley Charitiable Trust funded project is part of the Helmsley Trust's Crohn's Disease Program. More details of the funding can be found at https://www.gutcellatlas.helmsleytrust.org/.

The goal of this project is to provide an integrated dataset of single-cell gene expression data mapped onto a high-resolution 3-dimensional framework from intestines (terminal ileum and ascending colon) of healthy individuals and Crohn’s disease patients undergoing resection due to intestinal obstruction or stricturing disease. This grant will also provide a gut-centric coordinate framework to map anatomical locations of cells providing novel insights into Crohn’s disease mechanisms, crucial to developing personalized therapeutic strategies, and new analytical tools for querying the Gut Cell Atlas database.

BISEL will be joined in this project by a team from the Pathology Division of the University of Edinburgh (led by Prof Mark Arends) and the EBI's Papatheodorou team with the Sanger Centre's Adams Group plus an NHS team led by Shahida Din.





Past projects
