A new chapter for human biology
The 2027 HCA General Meeting marks the beginning of HCA 2.0: a new phase focused on building a comprehensive reference atlas of the human body and strengthening links between healthy reference atlases and disease biology.
Why this meeting matters now
New data modalities & spatial technologies
Emerging technologies that capture richer biological context and connect single-cell detail with tissue structure
Healthy-to-disease translation
Stronger links between reference atlases and disease biology
Global collaboration
A forum for researchers, technology providers, pharmaceutical partners and funders
Predictive biology
Using atlas-scale data and computational models to predict cell states, responses and disease trajectories
10x Genomics is proud to support scientific discovery as the Exclusive Foundational Sponsor of the 2027 HCA General Meeting.
