Helmholtz Munich and Parse Biosciences GigaLab Generate World’s Largest Human Lung Tissue Perturbation Atlas15.9.2025 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Helmholtz Munich and Parse Biosciences today announced a strategic partnership to generate the world’s broadest lung disease perturbation atlas, powered by Parse Biosciences’ GigaLab platform.
