Creating a human brain proteome atlas--13th HUPO BPP Workshop March 30-31, 2010, Ochang, Korea

The HUPO Brain Proteome Project (HUPO BPP) held its 13th workshop in Ochang from March 30th to 31st, 2010 prior to the Korean HUPO 10th Annual International Proteomics Conference. The principal aim of this project is to obtain a better understanding of neurodiseases and aging with the ultimate objective of discovering prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers, in addition to the development of novel diagnostic techniques and new medications. The attendees came together to discuss progress in the clinical neuroproteomics of human and to define the needs and guidelines required for more advanced proteomics approaches.     

Selected highlights from the 50th Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology, Orlando, USA, 18-21 March 2001

The recent scientific session of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), held in Orlando, provided a forum for ongoing cardiovascular clinical trials from around the world. The high point was clearly the first ever release of results from the CURE study. The Late-Breaking Clinical Trials sessions also featured results and interim data from other trials such as MIRACLE, CAPRICORN, SVG WRIST, RITZ 2, SoS and PRINCE. New applications for data from the OPUS-TIMI16 trial were discussed and promising results from initial studies into the experimental drug ALT-711 showed the way for further studies.
