Human Cytome Project is about the study of the biological system structure and function of an organism at the cytome level. It relates to Cytomics, which is the study of cell systems (cytomes) at a single cell level.

At the Focus on Microscopy (FOM) meeting in Philadelphia, on Wednesday afternoon, 7 April 2004, the idea of a Human Cytome Project was for the first time discussed at a scientific meeting.

The goal of the project is to improve:

The diagnosis and prediction of disease progress.
The development of new drugs (reduce late stage attrition).
