Vote for Your Favorite Mentoring Session Topic for HUPO 2022
 
The ECR Initiative is preparing three mentoring sessions for the HUPO 2022 World Congress in Cancun. These exciting sessions will feature topics such as: “Imposter syndrome: What is it and how do you fight it?” and “Exploring non-academic career paths”. For the third session, we would like to hear from the early career researcher proteomics community. From the following topics, which one would you prefer to discuss?
 
A - Preparing for job applications and interviews
B - How to handle a social media presence (Google scholar, Research Gate, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
C - How to deal with failures? Learning experiences and opportunities
 
Please vote using the Twitter Poll link here.
Each month a member of HUPO is highlighted. A diverse group of researchers representing different career stages, disciplines, geographical locations, and ethnicities will be invited to submit a profile for the monthly highlight. This initiative will improve visibility of HUPO members, advertise research and enhance the HUPO community. This month we are featuring:
Ruth Hüttenhain, USA

What is your current position and location?
I am an Assistant Adjunct Professor at the University of Californian in San Francisco (UCSF) in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology.

How did you get started in the field of proteomics?
In 2005 as part of my masters degree, I performed a research project at National Institute of Health under the supervision of Dr. Sonja Hess, for which I characterized hemoglobin variants using a combination of top down and bottom up proteomics approaches. This experience was transforming for me in many ways. Given my prior training in pharmaceutical sciences I had mainly worked on small molecules and became fascinated by the power and versatility of mass spectrometry to study proteins. It also was the first time that I was exposed to the international scientific community and opened my eyes about possible exciting career trajectories. As a result I decided instead of following my occupation as pharmacist to pursue a career in science and to learn more about mass spectrometry-based proteomics, which I have continued doing since then.
Postdoctoral Position Available
at NIH

A postdoctoral position is available in the Functional Cellular Networks Section, Laboratory of Immune System Biology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIH, Bethesda, MD. The successful candidate would join an interactive team of researchers in a collaborative scientific environment focused on systems immunology approaches to studying the Toll-like receptor signaling networks and other innate immune signaling pathways.
