The Proteome Browser has been featured in Australian Life Scientist and demonstrated at the HUPO World Congress in Boston

One of our Apps projects, the "Proteome Browser", which is being developed for the International Proteomics Community by Monash University, was featured in a recent article in Australian Life Scientist in which Prof Ian Smith was interviewed about the Chromosome-centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) initiative and The Proteome Browser. 

Click on the link above to read the article (a pdf version is also available from the AP32 project blog).

Additionally, the Proteome Browser was recently demonstrated by Prof Ed Nice and Rob Goode from the Monash team at the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) 11th Annual World Congress in Boston. Check out the pics on the AP32 Proteome Browser blog of Ed and Rob in action.

Key Apps Deliverable #4 – Demonstrations of Value

Good news stories about the software and how it is adding value by helping researchers to do cutting edge research that wasn’t easy or even possible to do before, are a key deliverable in all the ANDS Apps projects, and a great topic to blog about.

These “Demonstrations of Value” are expected to:

• result in data being transformed or integrated across multiple sources to produce new forms of information that enable innovative, high-quality research outcomes;
• deliver value to at least one high profile research champion;
• be relevant to a range of government portfolios; and
• engage with National Research Capabilities.
  

The “value message” (i.e. WHAT value has the software added to the research process?) and an outline of the envisaged strategy for communicating of the value message to a wider audience (i.e. WHO? will present the message, through WHAT? media channels and WHEN?, will have been defined in each ANDS Applications Project Description prior to contract signing. These Deliverables will always require a high profile Researcher or Policy Maker to publicly state that the software product is allowing them to conduct research / develop policy that wasn’t possible before.

Blogging about the dissemination activities by the high-profile Research or Policy Champion themselves is perfect blog content, however any other stories about the project and interest in the product by other groups within Australia and Internationally are also excellent material for your blog. In particular, we also would love to hear about demonstrations of value and other “good news stories” that were not envisaged in the project contract - ANDS and DIISRTE are very interested in hearing that their investment is having a widespread impact.

Some blog post examples of this latter type from ANDS Apps projects are from the Edgar project where the software has been demonstrated to INBio, a Costa Rican NGO, and from the Human Chromosome 7 Atlasproject who have had widespread interest from the International Proteomics Community in their software product following presentation of the softwareprototype at the 6th AOHUPO Congress in Beijing.
