A decade of Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference (CEEPC): Credibility, cohesion and vision for the next decade

Power of proteomics and progress in precision medicine - 13th central and eastern European proteomic conference (CEEPC), Ustroń, Poland

INTRODUCTION

Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference (CEEPC) provides a platform for researchers to discuss multi-disciplinary integrated approaches to address a range of challenges from present day viral pandemic to on-going progress in Precision Medicine. CEEPC brings together various multi-omics entwined with novel enabling technologies, thus facilitating conceptual advances from cell to society for the benefit of mankind.

AREAS COVERED

Proteomic methodologies, databases and software has revolutionized our ability to assess protein interactions and cellular changes, allowing the establishment of biological connections and identification of important cellular regulatory proteins and pathways previously unknown or not fully understood. Additionally, Mass spectrometry (MS) remains a major driving force in the field of 'multi-omics' and a powerful technology for the structural characterization of biomolecules and for analysis of proteins and small molecules such as lipids, sugars and metabolites. Combination of measurements from proteomics, genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics, present a powerful decision-making format allowing deeper interpretation of a disease scenario in Precision medicine.

EXPERT COMMENTARY

Precision Medicine offers novel and promising ways to identify and treat a wide range of diseases. The future success of these therapies will be underpinned by novel proteo-genomic approaches linked to sophisticated databases to evaluate and predict drug-patient interactions.

Driving Precision Medicine through Proteomics and Metabolomics - 12th Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference (CEEPC), Bucharest, Romania

As Romanians prepared to celebrate 100 years of the ''Great Unification of 1918'' which united all provinces into one Romania, the 12^th Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference (CEEPC) jointly with the 39^th Anniversary of the Institute of Cellular Biology and Pathology ''N. Simionescu'' (ICBP-NS), held their inaugural meeting at the Romanian Academy in Bucharest - a national forum of highest scientific recognition. With an exciting theme entitled, 'Advances in Proteomics and Progress in Precision Medicine', delegates gathered to debate Precision medicine's revolution in diagnosis and treatment, which now accounts for predictive, preventative, and targeted treatment strategies with informed decisions according to individual's unique clinical, molecular and genetic profile. Proteomics has a pivotal role to play in furthering precision health and medicine for the benefit of mankind. To this end, CEEPC continues to drive advances in proteomics, metabolomics, and diseases as well as raising awareness of pressing global humanitarian and health-care issues including mental health diseases, aging, chronic diseases, global epidemics and environmental issues. Today, CEEPC is a well-recognized major annual conference with a focused vision and a highly valued ideology as it continues to propagate scientific, medical and proteomic collaborations whilst expanding as more Eastern European countries prepare to join.

Pursuit of proteomic excellence and the excitement in Košice, Slovakia, at the 11th Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference (CEEPC)

The Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference (CEEPC) successfully launched its second decade of proteomics in Košice, Slovakia with a program of systems biology, cellular, clinical, veterinary and sports proteomics. Whilst many conferences are struggling to attract participants, CEEPC with its outstanding track record and unique 'family - feel' packaged with excellent ambiance is thriving and bringing together proteomics experts from academia, industry, scientific specialties, clinics and precision medicine communities interested in resolving mysteries about protein functionalities in health and disease. CEEPC is also renowned for addressing humanitarian global healthcare issues, may it be ageing, chronic diseases or global epidemics. This year CEEPC intertwined with Košice Peace Marathon's pursuit of excellence in sports and initiatives including sports medicine and global peace.

A decade of proteomics accomplished! Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference (CEEPC) celebrates its 10th Anniversary in Budapest, Hungary

The Central and Eastern European Proteomic Conference (CEEPC) proudly celebrated its 10th Anniversary with an exciting scientific program inclusive of proteome, proteomics and systems biology in Budapest, Hungary. Since 2007, CEEPC has represented 'state-of the-art' proteomics in and around Central and Eastern Europe and these series of conferences have become a well-recognized event in the proteomic calendar. Fresher challenges and global healthcare issues such as ageing and chronic diseases are driving clinical and scientific research towards regenerative, reparative and personalized medicine. To this end, proteomics may enable diverse intertwining research fields to reach their end goals. CEEPC will endeavor to facilitate these goals.
