Human Organ Atlas HUB (HOAHub)

HOAHub aims to create a physical and virtual Hub which uses HiP-CT to scan whole human organs with local cellular resolution, producing a "Human Organ Atlas in Health, Ageing and Disease".

It will:

1. Bridge clinical imaging (radiology, millimetre scale) to molecular modalities (nanometre scale), providing unprecedented insights into our bodies in health, ageing and disease, helping cure or mitigate diseases from neuro-degeneration to musculoskeletal disorders to cancer.

2. Bring together interdisciplinary groups to produce the novel experimental and computational technologies needed to analyse and interpret the scale-bridging data.

3. Enable the clinical impact of synchrotron imaging to be realised, by transforming HiP-CT into an efficient tool (from autopsy to beamtime to quantification).

4. Advance biological, computational and medical fields.

5. Provide anatomical training resources and a new Gold Standard for validating CT, MRI and 3D histology, inspiring a new generation of techniques and real-world clinical insights.

HOAHub consists of 7 interdisciplinary working groups to further develop the HiP-CT technique, address biological and biomedical challenges and propagate the technique to a wider community via training.
