The decision to launch US HUPO was made at the 2003 International HUPO Annual Conference in Montreal. A few months later Sam Hanash and Gil Omenn convened academic and industrial proteomic scientists from across the United States at the National Institutes of Health to discuss the HUPO Plasma Proteome Project, and more generally, the medical and scientific opportunities offered by the new proteomics technologies. In the early morning of April 22, 2004 the group met to organize US HUPO. From the beginning USHUPO was intended to be a national organization that coordinated internationally through HUPO. A council and officers were elected and given a fairly loose charge--- to get things going. Members of the founding council were Philip Andrews, Laura Beretta, Ralph Bradshaw, A.L. Burlingame, Richard Caprioli, Steven Carr, Brian Chait, Daniel Chan, Catherine Costello, Robert Cotter, Benjamin Cravatt, Stephen Dahms, D.M. Desiderio, Catherine Fenselau, Donita Galand, David Goodlett, Samir Hanash, William Hancock, Stanley Hefta, Donald Hunt, Ryuji Kobayashi, Joshua LaBaer, Lance Liotta, Sanford Markey, Martin McIntosh, Gilbert Omenn, Scott Patterson, Emanuel Petricoin, Peipei Ping, Fred Regnier, Jan Schnitzer, Richard Smith, David Speicher, Michael Snyder, Paul Tempst, Peter Jutz, Cara Wykowski and John Yates. Catherine Fenselau was elected founding president, Sandy Markey treasurer, Peipei Ping secretary and Gil Omenn and John Yates vice presidents. Immediate objectives included 1) secure incorporation and a constitution, 2) launch a membership drive; 3) establish a website; 4) organize our first annual conference, and 5) initiate fund raising. Incorporation papers were signed at the third annual HUPO conference in Beijing in October 2004, and a constitution was adopted from HUPO; Donita Garland assumed active chairmanship of the membership committee and Cara Wykowski set up a Career Networking Forum; Scott Kuzdzal registered the website address and Phil Andrews established a website in September 2004; Fred Regnier set to work organizing the first annual conference; Agilent Technologies, GE Healthcare and Shimadzu Scientific Instruments signed on in late 2004 as Platinum Sponsors and Thermo Electron Corporation joined as a Silver Sponsor. Current major sponsors of USHUPO are Agilent Technologies, Journal of Proteome Research, Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Waters Corporation. The first annual US HUPO Conference was held March 13-16, 2005 in Crystal City VA, on the outskirts of Washington D.C. The calendar window for the US HUPO conference was set in March in order to occur about 6 months away from the annual autumn conference of international HUPO. We adopted a guideline for rotation that moves the meeting throughout the United States. The title for the 2004 conference was “Mapping the Human Proteome: From Tools to Functionality.” Nearly 400 people attended, and one hundred sixty-three talks and posters were presented. Janet Cunningham of Barr Enterprises worked with Fred Regnier to organize that meeting. Currently we have a long term contract

with Judith Sjoberg and Scientific Association Management to manage the organization and also the conferences. From the beginning we believed that educational outreach was an important part of our mission, and five short courses were organized for the first conference: Bioinformatics for proteomics; Methods for quantitative proteomics; 2D Electrophoresis in proteomics; Tandem mass spectrometry methods for proteomics; and Sample preparation and fractionation for proteomics. In the year of our tenth annual conference (2014), these topics all continue to be of high importance to the field.

Through its first ten years US HUPO has enjoyed strong leadership by its officers and a board drawn from a range of scientific specialties and elected directly by the membership. Its presidents have been Catherine Fenselau, Mike Snyder, Bill Hancock, Gil Omenn, Natalie Ahn and incoming president Josh LaBaer. Significant new benefits have been introduced for members, including an active on-line and onsite career center, discounted journal subscription, and conference discounts. The members-only electronic US HUPO News carries advice on grant writing, new technology, and occasional member profiles. We have instituted an endowed award, the Robert J. Cotter New Investigator Award, whose first recipient (2013) was Rebekah Gundry, assistant professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
