“The biology and disease oriented branch of the Human Proteome Project (B/D-HPP) was established by the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) with the main goal of supporting the broad application of state-of the-art measurements of proteins and proteomes by life scientists studying the molecular mechanisms of biological processes and human disease.This will be accomplished through the generation of research and informational resources that will support the routine and definitive measurement of the process or disease relevant proteins”.
