Abstract

The 6th Annual World Congress of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) took place in Seoul, Korea from 6–10 October with co-chairs Young-Ki Paik (Yonsei University, Korea), Richard Simpson (Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Australia) and Young Mok Park (Korea Basic Science Institute, Korea) welcoming nearly 2500 delegates. The aim of the meeting was to reflect the state-of-the-art of proteomics, from current technological developments through to its practical use in cell biology and biomarker discovery. As in previous years, the first 2 days of the congress were dedicated to HUPO initiatives workshops, an educational day during which students were lectured to by a series of domain experts, and a clinical day session, at which clinicians and bench scientists combined to review the advances made in progressing the results of this technology into healthcare settings. The interest in this area was reflected by a total of over 1200 posters, presenting novel and innovative approaches to applying this technology to the fields of cell biology, disease monitoring and drug discovery.
