Celebrating Outgoing and Welcoming Incoming B/D-HPP Executive Committee Members
With the recent refresh of the HUPO Biology/Disease-driven Human Proteome Project (B/D-HPP) Executive Committee, we took the opportunity to get the thoughts of several members of the committee who completed their tenure:
- Dr. Fernando Corrales
- Dr. Eric Deutsch
- Dr. Gil Omenn
- Dr. Frank Schmidt
They have all given their valuable time and leadership to the HUPO mission and have been critical to the continued growth of the B/D-HPP initiatives and the continued adoption of proteomics advances toward understanding pressing questions in health and life sciences. We asked them what they would like to share with the HUPO community on this occasion. Click here to see what they said....

Tiannan Guo, Hangzhou China
What is your current position and location?
I am a Principal Investigator and Associate Professor at Proteomic Big Data Lab of School of Life Sciences at Westlake University, located in Hangzhou, China. I am also the Director of iMarker Lab at Westlake Laboratory for Life Science and Biomedicine, and an associate faculty member of Center for Infectious Disease Research and Research Center for Industries of the Future at Westlake University.
How did you get started in the field of proteomics?
Actually, I was intent on becoming a clinician before delving into academic research. Everything changed in 2006 when protein systems first fascinated me when I learned about Gleevec, a drug directed at the BCR-ABL fusion protein for chronic myeloid leukemia. Invention of this drug enabled about 99% of the patients to be cured, turning a previously fatal diagnosis into a chronic disease. I thought then it would be useful to find more drug targets for more types of cancer, which would require understanding the abnormal proteins associated with each disease.
