HUPO 2008

We cordially invite you to attend and contribute to the major proteomics event of 2008: the HUPO 7th Annual World Congress, which will take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from 16 – 20 August 2008.

The theme of the meeting is “Proteome Biology”. In spite of the amazing complexity of the proteome, the field of proteomics has matured to a degree where significant progress in biology and medicine can be realized. This expectation is based on rapid progress in the development of powerful proteomics technologies that increasingly contribute to the editing of comprehensive maps of the various cells’ proteomes and move forward the boundaries of the “terra incognita”. The title of the meeting also indicates the need for proteomics to progress beyond identifying the building blocks of the proteome towards understanding of how the complex biological functions of a cell are orchestrated via intricate networks of proteins interacting with themselves and other types of biomolecules.

Next to an excellent scientific program, we offer the latest initiatives and products on proteomics technologies in an exhibition. Please check out the exhibition and sponsoring section on this website.

We like to welcome all researchers with an interest in proteomics to Amsterdam, city of culture, pleasure and heritage. Dutch history, architecture and music, you will have to experience it yourself ... so take this opportunity!

We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam!
