Registration as well as abstract and travel award submission for HUPO 2023 in Busan, South Korea are now open. We cordially invite you to register and submit abstracts for one of the largest international gatherings in the field of proteomics. The Scientific Program Committee has organized extraordinary Plenary and Keynote Speakers across an exciting range of proteomics topics. The program-at-a-glance and many other congress details can be found on the HUPO 2023 congress website.

Also take a moment to view these important congress elements and upcoming deadlines:

1.   Pre-Congress Activities (Sunday, September 17):

2.   Travel Awards for trainees and a new award for non-commercial senior scientists – Application Deadline: May 26, 2023

There are many hotels within close walking or driving distance to the BEXCO convention center. The HUPO 2023 congress block has excellent rates for the two hotels within walking distance – book early to secure your room!

Have you recently worked on an original manuscript in the field of proteomics? This is the last chance to participate in the 9th edition of the HUPO Early Career Researcher (ECR) Manuscript Competition at HUPO 2023. This is a unique opportunity for early career researchers to gain visibility in the proteomics community, as it highlights the important contributions that postdoctoral fellows, young clinicians and junior faculty members make to the proteomics field. Three finalists will be selected to present their manuscripts published during the 2022 and 2023 calendar years in a dedicated plenary session at HUPO 2023. An expert committee will evaluate the oral presentations to determine the “Proteomics Highlight of the Year”. The first-place winner will receive a cash prize of $1,000 USD and two runner-ups will each take home $500 USD, thanks to our sponsor Expert Review of Proteomics by Taylor and Francis.

Unsure about applying? Hear from last year’s finalists, Dr. Ling Hao and Dr. Wout Bittremieux about their experience at HUPO 2022 in Cancun, Mexico.

More information about the competition, eligibility and how to submit available here.

To participate, graduate students and postdocs simply need to indicate in their abstract submission if they would like to participate in the competition. This can be done by clicking the appropriate box while completing your submission. A set of posters will be selected as finalists and be evaluated during the conference by a jury.

SPEAKER: Dr. Weintraub has been been actively engaged in biomedical mass spectrometry since 1971. She is a co-author of more than 180 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals in addition to six book chapters.

Since 2017 I have been a Distinguished Professor at the Science Faculty of Utrecht University in the Netherlands (www.hecklab.com). I started in Utrecht the Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics group in 1998, when just a few people knew how to spell the word proteomics, and we relied on 2D gels and peptide-mass-finger printing.

I got trained in physical chemistry and started in the field of mass spectrometry through graduate research in the lab of Nico Nibbering at the University of Amsterdam. For a post-doc I went into laser spectroscopy and molecular beams, with David Chandler at Sandia and Dick Zare at Stanford. In 1995 I was attracted to Warwick University in the UK and started to work as a Lecturer on the analysis of peptides and proteins by mass spectrometry. In my job application for Utrecht in 1997 I did write down a big dream of what I believed mass spectrometry could deliver in the life sciences, and seemingly was able to convince the recruitment committee. We had to learn how to run gels, do nanoLC and manually interpret fragmentation spectra. And yes, all the dreams I put forward have come true, some even earlier than expected.
