Haniffa Group
Cellular Genetics Programme
The team’s research applies disruptive cutting-edge techniques to study the genomics of immune cell populations at single-cell resolution and uses advanced computing capabilities to analyse data to reconstruct the immune system within its tissue context during development and adult life
This research is part of the Human Cell Atlas initiative, which has set out to create a comprehensive reference map of all human cells as the basis for understanding human health and diagnosing, monitoring and treating disease.
The team’s research focuses on these areas:
- Development Cell Atlas – decoding the development and functional maturation of the human immune system.
- Skin Cell Atlas – unravelling the cellular circuits during homeostasis and inflammatory skin diseases.
- Human Developmental Biology Initiative – lineage analyses of the developing human immune system.

Let’s amplify 10 woman scientists and keep it going 💥 @cjohansson_lab @BarralLab @gibbonslab @sujo06 @ActonLab @meganmacleod15 @lloyd_lab @Muzz_Haniffa @MahimaSwamy @lynchielydia https://twitter.com/sig_polaklab/status/1310480908869304320
.@Bsc2Phd are working on an extended publication to highlight the experiences of Black PhD students in the UK 🙌🏿
Please RT/share, and head to https://acrcollective.squarespace.com/projects for more info on how to get involved 🙌🏿
Deadline for biographies - 26th Oct https://twitter.com/Bsc2Phd/status/1310554164360081409
Hi Twitter, we are the Black Scholarship Collective. Our aim is to chart the paths of Black students through UK academia. We have centred our first project on documenting the lived experiences of Black PhD students navigating the academy. http://acrcollective.com/projects
We offer a 4-year PhD contract linked to a funded project about immunometabolism of myeloid cells and focused on metabolomics studies. Thanks for spreading the word! Full info in the attachment
