Goals
The goals of this meeting are:
- 1. To describe the future of PRO in light of the aims of the upcoming grant proposal:
- (a) represent proteoforms of clinical interest
- (b) connect sequence variations with molecular mechanisms using semantic web technologies
- (c) link disease biomarker, antibody, and drug target information to appropriate proteoforms
- (d) connect proteoform expression profiles to cell types
- (e) enhance PRO quality control and distribution mechanisms.
- 2. To describe PRO's collaborating projects and how they fit into PRO.
- 3. To discuss implementation plans, especially with respect to collaborations.
