PERSPECTIVES IN PROTEOMICS
 

Dr. Mark Baker from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia is the current chair of the Human Proteome Project (HPP) and a former HUPO president. Listen to his words on how the combined efforts of HUPO, HPP and the global community of scientists has positioned us to further precision medicine.

EDUCATION
 

Proteomics is a rapidly growing field of science and many new methods and technologies are constantly under development. The Swedish Proteomics Society organizes educational activities that aid scientists and students to expand their knowledge and interact with leading experts in the field.
 
We will organize our next workshop in conjunction with the 15th annual meeting to be held in Gothenburg from 21-22 November 2016.

The last seminar in the autumn term in our bi-weekly national seminar series in MS-based proteomics organized together by the Swedish National Infrastructure for Biological Mass Spectrometry (BioMS) and the SciLifeLab Integrative Structural Biology (ISB) platform was on Thursday 24th of November by Jenny Hansson at Lund University.  
 
We would like to thank all presenters and participants this fall, and look forward to seeing you all again on the 2nd of February 2023 when the spring seminars start. The online seminar series has been received well, and we have had 15-30 participants per seminar with exciting presentations from both academia and industry.  
 
Wishing you all happy holiday season!
