Human Reference Atlas Hackathon with focus on Whole Person Physiome
Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center
Indiana University, Bloomington, IN
August 3-5, 2026
Summary
The Human Reference Atlas (HRA) is a multiscale, multimodal, three-dimensional atlas of the anatomical structures and cells in the healthy human body. The HRA provides standard terminologies and data structures for describing specimens, biological structures, and spatial positions linked to existing ontologies. This hackathon will bring together PIs, programmers, and key personnel from teams in the Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP), the Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet), the Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE), the Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP), and the Whole Person Project (WPP) to discuss the integration of the HRA with other atlassing efforts.
