New Working Group: Making Proteomics AI-Ready
The HUPO-PSI AI-readiness Working Group has launched, bringing together researchers to make public proteomics data more usable for AI through better metadata, formats, and reprocessing workflows. Chaired by Tine Claeys, with co-chairs Samuel Wein and Ralf Gabriels, the group welcomes anyone interested in shaping practical, community-driven solutions. Get involved and follow our progress!
