Are you or do you know an ECR who deserves to be recognized for their   contribution  to the proteomics community? The HUPO Rising Star Award recognizes early career researchers who have had an exceptional impact on the proteomics field, whether that be through publications, patents, commercialization, education or any other contribution or service to the field of proteomics.

We caught up with last year’s HUPO Rising Star, Lindsay Pino, to ask why should an ECR apply for this award:

“Having a non-traditional, winding path through training and career trajectory, I wasn’t sure if my contributions really fit the right profile for the Rising Star award. It turns out that’s exactly the point! This award recognizes the many ways the community contributes to proteomics as a field, not only the conventional ones. So if you’re doing something a little off the typical path in proteomics, make sure to shoot your shot and apply. This award has really shown me that the field is stronger because of the many different ways proteomicists show up in the world.”

Candidates can self-nominate or be nominated (by a supervisor, colleague, superior, client, collaborator, etc). Our first-place winner will receive a cash prize of USD $2000. The award will be presented at HUPO 2025 in Toronto, Canada alongside the opportunity to provide a short talk.

The deadline to apply is May 16, 2025.
