Human
Proteome Organization (AOHUPO) was formed in 2002 by a group of well known Proteomics scientist
in the AO region.
More conceptual in origin, the organization has grown into a structured
body
through mutual interests and dedication of its leaders. It represents
fifteen
countries in the Asia and Oceania region, including India. AOHUPO has
been
actively promoting proteomics activities between researchers and
research
groups in the region. AOHUPO
has also
undertaken a consortium initiative – Membrane Proteomics
Initiative, for
developing methods to reliably identify and characterize membrane
proteins
which are the most difficult to study. MPI is progressing fast with
participation from many research groups in the joint research effort.
As part
of its mandate, AOHUPO organizes a bi-annual International Proteomics
Conference. The earlier bi-annual Conferences were held in Seoul,
(S.Korea
2002), in Taipei (Taiwan, 2004), Singapore (2006) and Cairns
(Australia, 2008).
In view of
increasing Proteomics research in
India, the AOHUPO council decided to
hold the 5th Proteomics Conference in India, in
Feb 2010. |
