Professor Herbert Thiele, the company’s Director of Bioinformatics, said, “Our scientists are particularly pleased to have presented such a wide array of advanced proteomics information and solutions again this year at the HUPO World Congress. From vendors’ points of view, Bruker is seen as one of the most active players in the HUPO Brain Proteome Project--since the very beginning of this initiative. Our expertise in mass spectrometry and bioinformatics covering a broad range of different applications was again very present at the 2007 HUPO World Congress and very visible in all of our varied and different scientific contributions.”

“The HUPO Congresses are always a big event for us here at Bruker, where we present significant new proteomics information. Our important new product announcements at HUPO 2007, held in the Asia Pacific region this time, included PTR methodology, Compass™ 1.3 and ProteinScape ™ 2 software advances. These innovations are significant and have been particularly well received,” added Clive Seymour, Vice President for Asia and the Pacific.

“With our novel new ProteinScape 2 software, Bruker Daltonics has introduced a next-generation bioinformatics platform addressing scientists' current needs in biomarker profiling, quantification and validation,” emphasized Dr. Detlev Suckau, Director of Proteomics.
