Sponsored by Expert Review of Proteomics Taylor and Francis
The annual HUPO Early Career Research Manuscript Competition was run by the HUPO ECR Committee in collaboration with YPIC. Over 25 manuscripts were submitted to be reviewed by three external reviewers. At the HUPO 2024 World Congress, attendees were invited to watch the three finalists present their groundbreaking proteomics research in a plenary session sponsored by Expert Review of Proteomics by Taylor & Francis.
All three speakers gave exciting talks and eventually a panel of judges crowned Stacy Malaker’s paper entitled “Glycoproteomic landscape and structural dynamics of TIM family immune checkpoints enabled by mucinase SmE” as the Proteomics Highlight of the Year. Stacy was awarded a cash prize of $1,000 USD and the two fabulous runner’s up, Marc van Oostrum and Leyuan Li, received cash prizes of $500 USD each.
The HUPO ECR Committee and YPIC would like to thank all of the reviewers and in-person judges who facilitated this competition to run so smoothly. Additional thanks go to all of the Early Career Researchers who submitted a manuscript. Stay tuned for next year’s manuscript competition submissions for HUPO 2025 in Toronto, Canada.
