Abstract
The foundation of Japan Human Proteome Organisation (JHUPO) was announced on May 14, 2002 by the late Dr. Akira Tsugita (Proteomics Research Center) and Dr. Kazuyuki Nakamura (Yamaguchi University) with 18 distinguished Japanese scientists in the field of proteomics. Drs. Tsugita and Nakamura were inaugural members of HUPO, which was created on February 8, 2001, with 19 distinguished scientists including Dr. Ian-Humphery Smith (Utrecht University in Holland) who proposed the establishment of HUPO and Dr. Samir Hanash (University of Michigan in USA) who was nominated to be the first President of HUPO. JHUPO aimed to promote HUPO activities by 1) organizing a non-profit organization for consulting human proteome research; 2) education and training of proteomics for human and model organisms; and 3) supporting the coordination of innovative research in the field of proteomics in Japan. Dr. Tsugita was nominated to be the first President of JHUPO to promote JHUPO activities. He was active for Human Liver Proteomics and also joined HUPO Human Plasma Proteome Initiative. Dr. Nakamura was nominated to be the Vice President. He is active for Human Liver Cancer Proteomics and also for the promotion of Education and Training (ET ET AIST, Center of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology; HGPI, Human Disease Glycomics/Proteome Initiative; HKUPP, Human Kidney & Urine Proteome Project; AOHUPO, Asia and Oceania HUPO; MPI, Membrane Proteomics Initiative.

A mission of “Human Kidney & Urine Proteome Project (HKUPP) is to encourage the spread of proteomic technologies in nephrology and to disseminate knowledge pertaining to the human kidney and urine proteome by providing a database for human kidney and urine proteome”
They are active in the promotion of proteomics in human nephrology to establish proteome database of human kidney glomerulus, distal and proximal tubules, collecting duct, and urine by global collaborations with Dr Visith Thongboonkerd (Mahidol University, Thailand) and Dr Antonia Vlahou (Academy of Athens, Greece)
