How do biotech companies develop successful businesses based on novel technologies? Join us in August for the next online panel discussion to learn more about this!
Congratulations to the Finalists of the Manuscript Competition

The manuscript competition is a unique opportunity for early career researchers to gain visibility in the proteomics community for their outstanding work. It serves as a platform to highlight the important contributions that postdoctoral fellows, young clinicians and junior faculty members make to the proteomics field.
Three finalists have been selected to present their publications in a dedicated plenary session at HUPO 2023 (in Busan), where an expert committee will evaluate the oral presentations to determine the “Proteomics Highlight of the Year”.
Congratulations to:
 
  • Hong Wang, Institute of Hematology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Tianjin, China
  • Pavel Sinitcyn, Morgridge Institute for Research, Madison, Wisconsin
  • Johannes Mueller, Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Munich, Germany

Report on the 5th ETC Auditorium with Dr. Juan Antonio Vizcaino
Open Data Practices in Proteomics: The Why, the How and the What For?

The goal of the ETC Auditorium "Stylish Academic Writing" professional development webinar series is to help students and trainees improve their scientific writing skills. The 5th webinar featured Dr. Juan Antonio Vizcaino, Proteomics Team Leader at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), as the lecturer. The discussion focused on the latest trends in open data practices in proteomics. Dr. Deepti Jaiswal Kundu, a Scientific Curator at the PRIDE database (EMBL-EBI) served as the host and Dr. Tiannan Guo, a Tenured Associate Professor at Westlake University, participated as a panelist.
The HUPO B/D-HPP will be hosting a webinar on Aging and Disease on Thursday, July 20th, 2023 from 11 am to 2 pm US Eastern Time.

Mark your calendar and stay tuned for info on speakers and registration coming soon!
Each month a member of HUPO is highlighted. A diverse group of researchers representing different career stages, disciplines, geographical locations, and ethnicities are 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:
Henry Rodriguez, USA

What is your current position and location?
My current position is the Founding Director of the Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research, in the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis at the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health that is located just outside of Washington DC. Recently, I served as Assistant Director for Strategic Health and Cancer Science, in the Executive Office of the President at the White House.
 
How did you get started in the field of proteomics?
It was by a stroke of serendipity that I stumbled upon my current career path, as my academic background and professional training are rooted in the intricate realm of molecular and cell biology, along with DNA/RNA technologies (or genomics, as it is now widely referred to). While I was immersed in a fellowship program at a renowned cancer center in California, I was struck by a realization: despite the advances in targeted cancer treatments, most therapies still focused on targeting proteins.
