Tiannan Guo 

Tenured Associate Professor, Westlake University, China

Hello, colleagues! I'm Tiannan Guo from Westlake University. I started in clinical medicine, transitioned into proteomics, and now integrate AI into my research. As a Tenured Associate Professor leading a team of 50, I'm honored to apply for the position of Member-at-Large in the Executive Committee of HUPO.

From 2021 to 2023, I served as a Council Member at HUPO, contributing to the Marketing and Outreach Committee and co-founded the Education and Training Committee (ETC). Notably, we launched HUPO's WeChat platform, which now has over 1,700 followers and 65,000 views. We also initiated a webinar series attracting over 30,000 viewers.

We generate proteomic big data and apply AI to understand the complexity of the spatial and temporal dynamics of proteomes. We also work on clinical translation of the proteomics discoveries, technologies and AI models, facilitating disease diagnosis, treatment and drug discovery. We've made strides in the clinical translation of proteomics technologies and contributed to HPP's Grand Challenge Project and the Pi-Hub project by organizing symposiums and conferences.

I also serve as an Associate Editor for MCP, advice for Cell Reports Medicine, and Proteomics, and am on the Editorial Board of Scientific Data and Genomics Proteomics Bioinformatics.

If elected, I aim to:

1. Foster technology advancements, scientific discoveries, and clinical translations within the HUPO community.
2. Enhance international collaborations in the Grand Challenge Project and Pi-Hub project.
3. Support the growth of next-generation scientists and attract talented young students.
4. Promote clinical translation of proteomics and increase clinician participation in HUPO.
5. Establish a sub-committee for AI proteomics under BD-HPP.

Thank you for considering my application.

Mathieu Lavallée-Adam 

Associate Professor, University of Ottawa, Canada

As an early career researcher, my efforts within HUPO focused on creating training and networking opportunities for early career researchers and showcasing their work. As a Member-at-Large of the HUPO Executive Committee, I now intend to concentrate my efforts on three aspects of HUPO's mission: 1) global health and wellness, 2) fostering international collaborations, and 3) improving inclusivity. I will work towards building bridges across national societies, clinicians, and researchers embracing a One Health research perspective that acknowledges human health is impacted by its environment, which can be investigated using proteomics.

My track-record highlights my ability to lead new initiatives within our community. I have been Co-Chair of the HUPO Early Career Researcher (ECR) Committee with Ruth Huttenhain for the last 4 years. Under our tenure, the HUPO ECR Committee has grown more diverse and now represents all continents. In this role, I have spearheaded the creation of a new Rising Star Award, recognizing a diverse range of contributions to our field, including industrial and educational ones. I have also led the foundation of a new governance structure for the HUPO ECR Committee to ensure its longevity and the expansion of its activities. This expansion included the launch of an online seminar series to provide ECRs with mentoring activities year-round, the establishment of a recurring networking reception for ECRs during the HUPO World Congress, and, in collaboration with the Human Proteome Project, the construction of a 3-minute thesis competition taking place at the Congress. I have also served on the HUPO Executive Committee as ECR Representative and on HUPO Working Groups addressing a strategic review of HUPO, updating its mission statement, and establishing ambassador and international exchange programs.

Finally, as Co-Chair of the HUPO 2025 World Congress, I look forward to building a conference that will work towards fulfilling HUPO's mission.

Senior Global Product Marketing Manager, Translational Research, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA

I am a protein chemist with over 20 years of research experience in the field of proteomics and multi-omics. Currently, I hold the position of Senior Global Product Marketing, Translational Research at Thermo Fisher Scientific. Prior to this, I served as the Director of the NCI-designated Proteomics Core at Sanford Burnham Preby's from 2006 to 2016.

Throughout my career, I have also held senior product and technical marketing roles at Seer, Sciex, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. I take pride in my contributions to the successful launch of various proteomics and metabolomics products and workflows. These experiences have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the proteomics field and its evolving needs.

In addition to my scientific and industry professional accomplishments, I currently serve as the chair of the HUPO Industrial Advisory Board and Technological Advancement Sessions for the term 2023-2025. This role has allowed me to work closely with academic and industry leaders, further deepening my passion for HUPO and its mission to advance the field of human proteomics.

I am committed to shaping the future of proteomics and its integration with other omics data to improve human health. As of HUPO member at large, I will collaborate with the rest of the executive committee to ensure the highest impact of this organization in the field of human proteomics, enabling better health outcomes for all.

Thank you for considering my nomination, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to HUPO's important mission and vision.

Suman Thakur

Principal Scientist, Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India

I am passionate about mass spectrometry bases proteomics and its application in basic and clinical science including understanding of cancer progression and its therapeutics. My research interests are advancement of proteomics technologies including single run, single cell and comprehensive proteomics, to find novel targets for cancer and diabetes using biomarker discovery and protein-protein interactions. Earlier, I had contributed in the development of single run technology in year 2011. Currently, I am associate editor in BB Reports and editorial board member of BBA Protein and Proteomics, Scientific Reports. I was also associated with Journal of Proteome Research (JPR) as its editorial board member and guest editor for the special issue on "Proteomics and its applications in pandemic disease" in JPR issue of November 2020 that had a collection of proteomics and metabolomics related article on COVID-19. Further, I had also got chance to bring a special issue entitled "Proteomics and its application in Endocrine disorders" as guest editor in BBA Protein and Proteomics containing a collection of endocrine disease in year 2021.

Furthermore, as guest associate editor and topic editor with myself along with my colleagues had chance to bring a special issue entitled "Proteomics and its application in cancer" in Frontiers in Oncology in 2021. I had organized a proteomics brainstorm meeting with national and international speaker in year 2014 at Hyderabad, India as convener.

I am a member of HUPO family. Further, I am also life member of Proteomics society of India and earlier had chance to be Executive council member of Proteomics society of India from year 2014 to 2019. I believe HUPO can play a great role in development of proteomics as platform for large scale studies in basic and clinical research and play an important role in the service of mankind. I would be very happy to be a part of executive committee of HUPO and like to take forward the mandate of HUPO and proteomics.
