The day of the research initiatives

The Human Proteome Project (HPP), HUPO’s flagship project, has provided significant outcomes in mapping the entire human proteome in a systematic international effort such as the high-stringency draft of the human proteome, connections to biology and disease, and forging the understanding of every human protein’s function.
The HPP has delivered on our enhanced understanding of human biology at the cellular level and lay a foundation for development of diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic, and preventive medical applications. The “HPP Grand Challenge” further explores the human proteome by understanding proteins in their network environment that will enable the elucidation of biological significance, and ultimately function of proteins. In combination with π-HuB, large scale efforts are already underway to dissect the functional states of the human proteome that are exemplified by PTMs, structural states, localization, and interactions and context-specific interdependencies of these attributes. During the diferent sessions, you will learn, and engage with scientists regarding the world-wide efforts in advancing the human proteome, its functions and its implication in health and disease.
