Summary

In Brief

We summarized the activities of the AOHUPO over the past 20 years, from its foundation to the present. The AOHUPO is the only regional HUPO organization that straddles the northern and southern hemispheres, and the needs of the society for proteomics are not uniform. Despite this diversity, the research in the AOHUPO has made steady progress, and we believe that this pace of evolution can be further accelerated in the 20 years with the addition of younger generations.
