Congratulations to Drs Eneko Villanueava and Anja Andrejeva on winning prizes at this year's annual HUPO Meeting.
The Cambridge Centre for Proteomics (CCP) and the Milner Therapeutics Institute are delighted to announce that Dr Eneko Villanueava, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biochemistry, was awarded the Early Career Researcher Prize at this year's Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) Meeting, held in Adelaide, Australia earlier this month. The prize was related to a manuscript describing the OOPS method (orthogonal organic phase separation of RNA binding proteins) that was published in Nature Biotechnology.
At the same meeting, Dr Anja Andrejeva of the CCP and the Department of Biochemistry was awarded the Thermo Scientific Silver TMT Award. Mohamed Elzek, a PhD student in the Biochemistry Department, was also shortlisted for the PhD Poster Competition Award.
With five talks, including a plenary, two posters and two awards, members of the CCP had a highly successful time at this year's HUPO meeting!
The Human Proteome Organisation Early Career Researcher Prize is a unique opportunity to make early-career researchers more visible to the proteomics community. It serves as a platform to highlight the important contributions that postdoctoral fellows, young clinicians and junior faculty members make to the proteomics field.
The Thermo Scientific Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) Research Awards are open to doctoral and postdoctoral scientists in the field of proteomics. Entrants are asked to propose how they could use Thermo Scientific TMT reagents in conjunction with other mass spectrometry reagents in their research. A panel of judges from Thermo Fisher Scientific and Proteome Sciences select the top three prizes based on the innovation and potential impact of the applicant's research proposal.
