Como en el pasado, hay que destacar la pre-sencia activa de proteómicos “patrios”, como indicativo de la valoración que se hace desde fuera de nuestra Sociedad. Como andamos de tiempo justitos, pues eso, que lo dejamos en inglés.The EuPA General Council (GC) took place during the 3rd EuPA Conference.The Minutes of the 5th GC (August 31, 2008, Siena, Italy) were approved1.

It will release an appropriate callFrom the CCC Close to 23.000 pages are visited each month on average at the EuPA address.
