Human Proteome Project (HPP)
Mission Statement of HPP
The mission of the Human Proteome Project (HPP): “The Human Proteome Project, by characterizing all 21 000 genes of the known genome, will generate the map of the protein based molecular architecture of the human body and become a resource to help elucidate biological and molecular function and advance diagnosis and treatment of diseases ”

- Human Proteome Project White Paper The "white paper" on the Human Proteome Project was written in August 2008. It was inspired by intense discussions during the 4th international Barbados Proteomics Conference that took place in January 2008. This paper was one of the major sources of inspiration of the HUPO Views article (MCP, Feb 2010).
