Fixing Proteomics Campaign

27 November 2009

The ESF QC in Proteomics meeting here in Cambridge (organised by Prof. Lennart Martens) has officially finished today and I'm officially exhausted BUT it's been an excellent three days listening to what people are doing to QC their proteomics research now and how we can share lessons learnt and practical tools from these efforts.

There were over 40 delegates representing industry, academia, vendors, journals, funding bodies and people involved in initiatives already trying to "fix proteomics".

It was a great mix of people, who were all action orientated but with different opinions and perspectives. Best of all it was a friendly, supportive and collaborative environment. Lennart did a great job of bringing us together and getting some strong actions out of this mix.

The Fixing Proteomics Campaign got good air time and is a part of what's coming out of this gathering. I can't say be specific for now but watch this space for news when I can reveal it.

Fixing Proteomics was also representing itself over dinner with this photo!

I am off to go though my pages of notes and ideas from this meeting and share the interesting bits of scrawl that I can via the blog...
