The current mission of the EuPA Initiatives Committee (IC) is:
- support existing European proteomics initiatives by providing funding and infrastructure and promoting their scientific and educational activities in a fair and transparent way
- encourage the creation of new initiatives that value scientific excellence, equality, inclusion and diversity
- foster links between initiatives and stimulate interdisciplinary exchanges to favor scientific innovation
Members of the Initiatives Committee:
Yasemin Furtun, Turkey
“Working towards a diverse and inclusive proteomics research by fostering gender equality and supporting fruitful exchanges between proteomics community and other life science researchers.”
Maria Hernandez-Valladares, Norway
“Implementing strategies to reach efficient involvement in biobanking and strengthen the clinical and glycoproteomics areas”
Lydie Lane, Switzerland
“Working at the interface between experimental cell biology, proteomics and bioinformatics, my aim is to stimulate interdisciplinary exchanges to favor scientific innovation.”
Frédérique Lisacek, Switzerland
“Keen to share a dynamic and decorated view of proteins across Europe”
Karl Mechtler, Austria
“Research should be driven by curiosity. Through basic science, we try to answer fundamental questions about how life works.”
Oxana Trifonova, Russia
“Preservation of the EuPA traditions in a new format and engagement new areas for proteomics and other omics-based tools implementation.”
Richard Unwin, UK
“Develop strategies and workflows to enable mass spectrometry and proteomics to become a useful tool for biomarker measurement in the clinical laboratory.”
Franck Vandermoere, France
“Facilitate the exchanges between European scientists from different fields in Proteomics and promote an equal access to the knowledge and the facilities in Proteomics.”
