- Project a collaboration with the Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) and Lung Molecular Atlas Program (LungMAP), which are leading an unprecedented effort **funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to map the tens of trillions of cells in the body and the organs, including the lungs
- Study could promote a greater understanding of the cellular response triggered in the lungs by COVID-19 that often lead to patients being placed on ventilators due to swelling that makes it difficult to breathe.
- Could lead to new insights for potent

The Future Is Now: Healthcare Systems Tested By COVID-19 Are Finding A Powerful Tool In AI
Imagine a world where a genomic sequencer small enough to fit in the palm of your hand maps the DNA of a virus in mere hours. Where you can test for a variety of maladies, from skin cancer to urinary tract infections, without going to the doctor. Where monitors use digital algorithms to adjust oxygen levels for ICU patients.
Now stop imagining. Thanks to artificial intelligence, we’re quickly approaching that world.

No Time To Panic: When A COVID Patient’s Heart Stopped Beating, This GE Worker Sprang Into Action
Even as COVID-19 closed borders and offices this year, Pawel Kazior continued to crisscross Poland, traveling weekly from his home in Gdansk, a port on the Baltic Sea, to train people to use GE Healthcare’s computed tomography (CT) medical imaging equipment. As a CT education specialist and a former doctor, Kazior knew the machines could help clinicians quickly visualize conditions associated with serious illnesses like COVID-19.
