2025 Diversity Candidates |
Each regional organization (Western, Central, Eastern) was asked to nominate two (2) candidates to be considered for 'diversity' positions on the HUPO Council. 'Diversity' candidates are nominated by the national/regional proteomics societies with the understanding that the selections should increase the diversity of the HUPO Council from each region (examples: less represented countries as defined by HUPO membership fees, gender balance, young scientists, agricultural and micro-organism proteomic, industry). This year, the Western and Eastern regions nominated two (2) diversity candidates so their remaining three (3) Council seats will be filled by the general election. The Central did not nominate any diversity candidates so their five (5) Council seats will be filled by the general election Candidates are listed alphabetical by surname. Esaú Bojórquez-Velázquez Postdoc, Instituto de Ecología, A.C. (INECOL), Mexico
Initially, as a student, I focused on research about seed proteins from Mesoamerican crops, a topic I continue to work on currently. During my postdoctoral stay, I am also interested in the application of proteomics in human health, with a particular emphasis on diseases (e.g., leukaemia and COVID-19) and post-translational modifications. Additionally, I have contributed to the dissemination of proteomics through teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as by serving on the organizing committee of the International Symposium of the Mexican Society of Proteomics (SMP). In my current role as Vice President of the SMP, I aim to continue supporting the growth of proteomics and mass spectrometry-based omics sciences at both regional and international levels. Graziella Ronsein Professor, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil 
I am an associate Professor and the head of the Redox Proteomics Core at Biochemistry Department, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am a pharmacist with PhD in Biochemistry at University of Sao Paulo (2008), with a joint postdoctoral training at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and University of Otago, New Zealand (2011-2015), and with a postdoctoral training at University of Washington, USA (2011-2015). In my lab, we use quantitative proteomics to understand how immune cells react to external stimuli, and to unravel the dynamic interplay between high-density lipoprotein function and composition, using cell culture and human studies. I am serving as the board of directors of the Brazilian Proteomics Society (2024-2026), and I have been an active promoter of the proteomics in Brazil, organizing proteomic schools in different parts of the country, and the Brazilian Proteomics Conference in 2024. I am honored to be considered as a member of HUPO’s council, and thrilled to contribute to its activities and initiatives. Eastern Region - Diversity Candidates |
Since the beginning of my career as a Biochemical Engineer, I have been passionate about proteins and analytical techniques. When I discovered that proteomics represents a beautiful symbiosis between these biomolecules and mass spectrometry, I knew I wanted to dedicate myself to it. 
As an Early Career Researcher from Monash University, I bring a fresh and dynamic perspective to the HUPO Council. My research focuses on mass spectrometry based immunopeptidomics contributes to advancing proteomics in immunology and integrating it with translational medicine, with a strong emphasis on methodological innovation and collaborative science. My research and contributions have recently been recognised by the award of the Ken Mitchelhill ECR Award by the Australasian Proteomics Society. I am committed to fostering innovation and reproducibility in proteomics, and I regularly engage with the broader scientific community through conferences, workshops, and mentoring activities.
