Abstract

With the completion of the genome project, it has been viewed that the proteome is the next major challenge. With heightened expectations comes the need for organizing public effort. The Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) was founded to regroup scientists in the public and private sectors engaged worldwide in various aspects of proteomics. Over the past year, HUPO has strived to develop a mission for itself and to begin the process of organizing its activities. The mission of HUPO as it is currently defined is to: 1) consolidate national and regional proteome organizations into a worldwide organization; 2) engage in scientific and educational activities to encourage the spread of proteomics technologies and disseminate knowledge pertaining to the human proteome and that of model organisms; and 3) assist in the coordination of public proteome initiatives. HUPO consists of three major geographic spheres that include Europe, Asia/ Oceania, and the Americas. In addition to current national proteome organizations affiliated with HUPO, plans are underway to assist in the formation of additional national proteome organizations and to expand affiliations with HUPO of other organizations that have a significant proteomics component such as biochemistry and cell biology societies.
