Uhlen/Odeberg at Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden (KTH), and Dr. Peipei Ping at UCLA have worked successfully together, launching the COPa Knowledgebase and the COPa Client portal to this knowledgebase during the AHA/BCVS conference in July 2011. This resource integrates multi-disciplinary proteomic datasets in the context of cardiovascular biology and medicine; it leverages state-of-the-art international resources supported by the UniProt project at EBI/EMBL, by the HPA, the world renowned Human Protein Atlas hosted at KTH, and by Census, an effective method for protein quantification in biological systems developed by TSRI. COPaKB aims to foster innovative research in cardiovascular biology medicine. Learn more about COPaKB [1].
