ABOUT THE GUT CELL ATLAS
The Gut Cell Atlas initiative aims to catalogue the many cell types in the small and large intestines. The Gut Cell Atlas is part of the pathbreaking global Human Cell Atlas effort, which is transforming what we know about cells and their function in human health.
The Helmsley Charitable Trust is focused on finding a cure for Crohn’s disease. This is a long-term pursuit, so in parallel we are dedicated to improving patients’ lives today.
The creation of a Gut Cell Atlas, with Helmsley support, will offer tremendous potential to achieve both goals. It will enable better understanding of the disease and spur new, more personalized treatments on the path to prevention and a cure – not just for Crohn’s disease, but for improving gut health overall. |
