Deanne Taylor, a scientist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, is leading efforts to create a comprehensive map of gene expression in children. She initiated this work after noticing the Human Cell Atlas project initially excluded pediatric data, highlighting the critical differences in gene expression between children and adults. Her advocacy led to the establishment of the Developmental Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (dGTEx), funded by the NIH, which aims to build a baseline database of healthy pediatric tissue for future medical research.
