Human Proteome Project (HPP)
The Human Proteome Project working group held its kick-off meeting in Seattle on January 25th. A short history of the HPP vision was presented and key issues were addressed: updates on technologies and methodologies that should be used to insure the best quality of data ; databases and data access ; key biological questions or biomedical challenges HPP could best contribute to. Specific topics were defined to be tackled by experts in the coming months. Similarly, regional and national meetings will be encouraged to stimulate the contribution of the scientific community at the definition of the strategic plan of the HPP. National initiatives have already started (Korea, Russia, Iran). Canada has embraced the project by the support of the Canadian National Proteomics Network. The European Science Foundation is currently exploring how best to fit it in the European Research Strategic Agenda. Other countries are also starting similar processes. <more>
