The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) program is a scientific research program with the goal to explore the whole human proteome using an antibody-based approach. The program was started at the Royal Institute of Technology Sweden in 2003 and funded by the non-profit organization Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW).The project has a gene-centric approach with the effort to map and characterize a representative protein for each protein-coding human gene (approximately 20000 genes).
