Call for Executive Committee Nominations
Nominations are now open for HUPO Executive Committee positions. This is an opportunity to lead the future of an important scientific organization and work with an enthusiastic global team to promote and represent proteomics.

The Executive Committee (EC) of the Human Proteome Organization consists of seven officers as follows: President, Immediate Past President or President-Elect, Vice President, Secretary General, Treasurer and two Members-at-Large. There is also an Early Career Researcher (ECR) representative that sits on the Executive Committee; however, this position is not considered an officer.

All positions, except the Secretary General which is appointed by the President then ratified by Council, are to be elected by the vote of HUPO Council. A person elected to an Executive Committee position who is not a Council member shall serve as ex-officio on the Council. All officers must be active HUPO members and serve a two-year term, unless otherwise delegated by Council.

Executive Committee nominees must be active HUPO members and scientists from the public or private sector with professional experience in the educational, research, or commercial activities related to the purposes of HUPO.

The following Executive Committee positions will be elected by Council vote for a two-year term, commencing in January 2023:
  • Treasurer (2023-2024)
  • Secretary General (2023-2024) – appointed by President Elect, ratified by Council

Submission deadline is October 15, 2022.

Human Proteome Project (HPP) News
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....
Recent Developments in MSstats Ecosystem:

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.
