ProCura
is a virtual network organization whose members are laboratories
of Portuguese research institutions of excellence or renowned
universities.
The network aims at bringing together these Portuguese laboratories
to share their expertise and facilities to form a collaborative
platform on the functional proteomics technology, in order
to contribute to the understanding of gene function in the
post-genomic era.

The
Portuguese Proteomics Network – ProCura- has recently
joined The European Proteomics Association (EuPa).
This EuPa integration requires us to ask our members
to update their contacts.
We also take this opportunity to invite new members
to join the ProCura network.

Scientist Award in
Proteomic Sciences 2009
The European Proteomics Association
(EuPA) invites nominations for the EuPA
Senior Scientist Award in Proteomics.
This annual Award is intended to acknowledge achievements
in the
field of proteomics in Europe. Portuguese nominations
for the EuPA Senior Scientist Award in Proteomics should
be sent to Dr Deborah Penque(Deborah.penque@insa.min-saude.pt)
by 20 March 2009.
Call
for Candidates for the EuPA Young Investigator Prize (PhD)
EuPA-YIP. The European Proteomics Association
(www.EuPA.org) hereby announces a call for candidates
for the EuPA Young Investigator Prize
to be awarded at the 3rd EuPA Congress in Stockholm
(June 14th - 17th 2009). A special session will
be dedicated to presentations which will be given by the
finalists selected from the submitted abstracts. The winner,
judged by the panel after the presentations, will receive
€1.000, sponsored by the Journal of Proteomics, and
a EuPA certificate. The winner of the Young Investigator
Prize will also be announced in the major proteomics journals.

The 3rd European Summer School in Proteomic
Basics - "Quantification and Post-translational
Modifications of Proteins" takes place from 02.08.
- 08.08.2009 at Kloster Neustift (Brixen/Bressanone,
South Tyrol, Italy). The summer school
is designed to provide an insight into the state-of-the-art
of protein analytic techniques in quantification
of proteins and the detection of their post-translational
modifications for graduate students and
young post doctoral workers.
Application Deadline: May
