Introduction
JPrOS (Japanese Proteomics Society) 2017/15th JHUPO Conference will be held at Hotel Hankyu Expo Park in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture for 3 days from 26th to 28th July. Thank you very much for the cooperates in exhibitions, luncheon seminars, advertisements etc., and for all the people who attend the meeting and cooperate in the event.
The theme of this meeting is "proteomic explosion – medical innovation ". In this meeting, I would like to discuss how to revitalize the proteome research in our country, and how to innovate medicine using the technology of proteome research. We are planning to set up sessions on Clinical Proteomics, Pharmacoproteomics & Drug Development, Technological Advances, Basic Biology, Computational Proteomics, Proteomics of Body fluid and Systems Biology. Furthermore, on the afternoon of the first day (26th), we are planning a technical education seminar to introduce analytical know-how for researchers who start proteome and those who have experienced proteome analysis as well.
We invite Prof. Akhilesh Pandey who is doing energetic work in the field of clinical proteomics, Prof. Benjamin Cravatt, a leading expert on drug discovery proteomics, Prof. Steven Pelech and Dr. Benjamin Ruprecht who is working on phosphoproteomics for clinical application. We also invite Dr. Cheolju Lee as the exchange program between JPrOS and KHUPO.
In addition to the special lectures, symposiums, poster sessions, we will set up an evening session for companies to introduce their own products and research. Furthermore, we are planning social gatherings for the participants to deepen their friendship.
We hope that experts, young researchers, graduate students and many other people who are interested in proteomics join this meeting and utilize this opportunity for advancement of their research.
