Proteomics Insights

You are invited to participate in the sbv IMPROVER “Species Translation Challenge” that aims to:

- Identify rules that map measurements derived from systematic perturbations in one species to another
- Understand the limitation of species translatability
- Quantify the translatability between species

Why you should be part of sbv IMPROVER:

- Research grant funding for the best performing teams
- Receive an independent assessment of your methods
- Gain access to previously unpublished high quality phosphoproteomics and gene expression data
- Enhance your visibility and gain recognition in the scientific community
- Be invited as a best performer to present your approach at a Symposium in Athens, Greece, 29 – 31 October 2013
- Have your methodology be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal if you win the challenge

The sbv IMPROVER project and www.sbvimprover.com are part of a collaboration designed to enable scientists to learn about and contribute to the development of a new crowd sourcing method for verification of scientific data and results. The project team includes scientists from Philip Morris International’s (PMI) Research and Development department and IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center. The project is funded by PMI.

This is a crowdsourcing based approach (virtual event), followed by a Symposium in Athens, Greece, 29 – 31 October 2013.
