March 20, 2024: RPPA is a high-throughput protein array technology that simultaneously measures hundreds or thousands of samples on glass slides with high precision and reliability, using specific antibodies. RPPA and mass spectrometry-based protein profiling are complementary technologies for protein profiling. In this webinar, panelists discuss RPPA's high-throughput capabilities and laser-captured microdissection technology. They also cover how these technologies precisely measure protein expression, modifications, and phosphorylation in tumor cells.

February 28, 2024 - Are you a Ph.D. student, postdoc, or early career researcher looking to get recognized for your work? Take a look at this HUPO Early Career Researcher online panel discussion, "Getting recognized for your work".

The panel features Dr. Laurent Gatto (Associate Professor of Bioinformatics, UCLouvain), Dr. Stacy Malaker (Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Yale University), and Dr. Juan Antonio Vizcaino (Scientist and Team Leader, Proteomics, European Molecular Biology Laboratory).

This is an excellent opportunity to find out more about getting recognized for your work and putting yourself in a favourable position for your future career.

February 21, 2024 - Trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) is a powerful analytical technique that separates and characterizes gas-phase ions based on their mobility in a buffer gas. TIMS has been widely applied in various fields, such as proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, and pharmaceutical research. It offers sensitivity, speed, and resolution for complex and challenging samples.

In the webinar, you will also learn about the different data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry methods currently used in proteomics and how new approaches benefit from the additional ion mobility dimension and new acquisition modes.

January 24, 2024. Protein identification is of fundamental importance in many areas of proteomics. Its applications include determining the presence or absence of an expected protein in a sample of interest, identifying an unknown protein present in a biological sample, and identifying a protein responsible for biochemical activity in an isolated protein fraction. In some cases, mass spectrometry or affinity-based methods may be suitable options, but these methods can face substantial challenges. Scientists need the ability to identify and measure peptide modifications, structures, and impurities more definitively and faster. Driven by structures for lossless ion manipulation (SLIM) technology, the MOBIE® instrument’s high-resolution ion mobility mass spectrometry platform separates and identifies the most challenging molecules with unprecedented resolution without compromising speed. By combining the MOBIE® platform’s high-resolution ion mobility mass spectrometry (HRIM-MS) data with liquid chromatography, more accurate separation and identification of impurities and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) can be achieved, reducing run times and costs.

April 12, 2023 - Writing a successful grant application is hard work—regardless of your career level. This fourth HUPO Education and Training Committee (ETC) Auditorium webinar covers fundamental essentials of a successful research proposal, including choice of grant category, PI and collaborators/co-investigators in addition to writing style, organization, and documentation. Speaker: Dr. Susan Weintraub: Professor - Department of Biochemistry and Structural Biology, UT Health San Antonio. Panelists: Giuseppe Palmisano: Professor - Department of Parasitology, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil; Brian Searle: Assistant Professor - Department of Biomedical Informatics, State Ohio University Medical.

April 5, 2023 - ECR Online Panel - Interested in proteomics? Considering a non-academic career? Starting a career in the industry or publishing world? Join the panel while they discuss the exploration of non-academic pathways in proteomics. Panelists include: Dr. Chris Rose, Scientist and Postdoc Mentor, Genentech; Dr. Lindsay Pino, Co-founder and CTO, Talus Bio; Dr. Maria Polychronidou, Senior Scientific Editor, Molecular Systems Biology, EMBO Press.

January 31, 2023 - This is the second HUPO Education and Training Committee (ETC) Auditorium with speaker Martin Krzywinski. Martin Krzywinski works in bioinformatics, data visualization, science communication and the interface of science and art. He applies design, both data and artistic, to assist discovery, explanation and engagement with scientific data and concepts. Martin’s information graphics have appeared in the New York Times, Wired, Scientific American and covers of numerous books and scientific journals such as Nature and Genome Research. He is going to elaborate on how small changes to critical elements can turn a muddled figure into one that is clear and concise.

September 29, 2021 - In partnership with the European Proteomics Association’s Young Proteomics Investigators Club (YPIC), the HUPO ECR Initiative hosted its second online panel discussion on September 27th at 10AM EDT (2PM UTC). Our panelists, Dr. Kathryn Lilley (University of Cambridge), Dr. Tharan Srikumar (Bruker), and Dr. Lindsay Pino (Talus Bio), shared their insights on managing expectations between a supervisor and oneself, which sparked lively conversations with attendees in the audience. Thank you to everyone who attended, our panelists, and our panel chair, Andreas Hober (KTH Royal Institute of Technology)!
