Ed Nice and Stephen Pennington, co-Chairs, HPP Pathology Resource Pillar

Some of you may have heard already that, due to increased pressures of work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Prof Dan Chan will stand down as the inaugural Chair of the HPP Pathology Resource Pillar. Dan has been outstanding in the drive and passion he has brought to this role and to getting the Pathology Pillar operational. I am sure you would like to join us in thanking Dan.

We now, of course, need to find a suitable replacement – a new Chair of the HPP Pathology Resource Pillar. The Chair is responsible for developing pillar strategic plans and projects, expanding membership of Pillar and reporting to HPP EC.

Dan has kindly offered to ‘guide’ the incoming Chair, and of course, receive active support from the co-Chairs. If you think you have the necessary drive and enthusiasm for this important HUPO role, please send the following information to HUPO office (office@HUPO.org) by Friday 31st July. This will be a 2 year appointment in the first instance.

i)              Proteomics track record
ii)             HUPO/HPP track record
iii)           Evidence of national/international visibility
iv)           Your vision for future development of the HPP Pathology Resource Pillar
v)             A one-page CV/bio
vi)           Names and contact details of 2 scientific/clinical referees

Thank you for your consideration.
