Canadian Human Proteome Project
The Second
Canadian Human Proteome Project Meeting, MaRS
District Discovery, Toronto was held February 22,
2011 at the MaRS District Discovery, Toronto,
Ontario. A report of the meeting
is found
here.
The Canadian National Proteomics Network is promoting
a Canadian Human Proteomics Project (CHPP), which
will leverage Canada’s existing strengths in
proteomics, health research and technology. A
position paper is currently being developed based on
the outcomes of the first CHPP meeting held on
January 16-17, 2011 in conjunction with the Annual
Proteomics Conference in Cell Biology in Barbados and
the second Canadian Human Proteome Project Meeting
was held in Toronto on February 22. The CHPP Working
Group presented the first draft of this
position paper
and invited feedback
and further development of the project from the
research community, clinicians and industry
partners. As members of the CNPN and CNPN Board of
Directors, the goal of the organizers of the
meeting is to present a final version of the
position paper to Canadian and provincial funding
agencies in the Spring of 2011 with the intent of
stimulating interest for a nationwide funding
competition to support a CHPP.
