The objective of the Molecular Atlas of Lung Development (LungMAP) program is to build a comprehensive molecular and cellular atlas of the human lung to serve as a reference platform to better understand both normal biology and disease pathobiology, and to identify critical cellular components, molecular
pathways, and novel therapeutic targets in lung disease.
LungMAP is an open access resource integrating multi-scale, high-content, high-resolution information to define lung cells with gene expression, physiological states, 3-dimensional locations, as well as developmental and pathological trajectories.
