Members of the Tao Lab participated in the 2026 U.S. Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) Conference, continuing our strong engagement with the international proteomics community. The meeting provided an exceptional forum to present new findings, exchange ideas, and strengthen collaborations across academia and industry.
Oral Presentation
Zhuojun Lois Luo delivered an oral presentation titled:
“Comprehensive Profiling of Protein N-Terminal Acetylation Stoichiometry in Extracellular Vesicles (evPNAS) Reveals Selective Protein Trafficking.”
This work highlights innovative strategies for characterizing post-translational modifications in extracellular vesicles and provides new insights into selective protein trafficking mechanisms. The presentation stimulated thoughtful discussion and strong interest from fellow researchers.
Poster Presentations
Yi-Kai Liu and William LeFever each presented poster presentations showcasing ongoing advances from the Tao Lab. Their contributions sparked engaging scientific conversations and valuable feedback from the proteomics community.
Beyond formal presentations, the conference offered outstanding opportunities for scientific exchange, collaboration development, and exposure to emerging technologies in mass spectrometry and quantitative proteomics. Our team benefited from the dynamic and collaborative atmosphere that defines U.S. HUPO.
We are proud of our lab members’ contributions and look forward to continuing to share our research at future HUPO meetings.
