SCIENTISTS TO CREATE A “GUT CELL ATLAS” WITH FUNDING FROM THE HELMSLEY CHARITABLE TRUST

“The Gut Cell Atlas will help us uncover what happens in the gut in health and disease and will also serve as a model for building other comprehensive organ system atlases.” A VUMC team led by Dr. Keith Wilson and research groups from two other universities will procure human tissue from both healthy individuals and those with Crohn’s disease, and gather data for gene and protein expression and cellular localization. Computational biologists will then analyze the data.
