The Human Protein Atlas – implications for human biology, drug development and precision medicine

The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) program aims to map of all the human proteins in cells, tissues and organs using integration of various omics technologies, including proteomics, transcriptomics, antibody-based methods and AI-based systems biology. The current version (www.proteinatlas.org) consists of six separate parts and the database contains in total more than 20 million web pages with information on various aspect of the genome-wide analysis of the human proteins. All the data in the knowledge resource is open access to allow scientists both in academia and industry to freely access the data for exploration of the human proteome. The implications for the understanding of human biology in health and disease will be discussed with a focus on drug development and precision medicine.
