Common and important issues to consider:
To build multi-dimensional molecular anatomy
How do we connect our data back to anatomy (4D)?
How can we combine imaging, gene expression, enhancer, epigenetic and other data to gain new insights?
2. To bring computer scientists and computational biologists to fill gaps in our data
How can we leverage advances in pattern recognition and machine learning?
3. To build a comprehensive molecular atlas for the entire body
