On Monday the 5^th of September in 1994, during the first Siena meeting (2D Electrophoresis – from protein maps to genomes), I presented the concept of the proteome and the term itself. Since that time, the field we now know as proteomics has expanded dramatically. Proteomic technology, and the new experimental paradigms that this technology supports, has revolutionised the way in which proteins can be studied in the challenging context of a cell or tissue. It has provided stunning insights into the diversity of proteins, their expression and many aspects of their function. This presentation will discuss 20 years of the proteome and of proteomics. It will discuss some major achievements of the field, some of the grand challenges that remain, and will speculate a little about what the future might hold.

Professor Marc Wilkins is the Deputy Dean (research and enterprise) in the Faculty of Science at UNSW Sydney. He developed the concept of the proteome and coined the term, and currently studies the role of post-translational modifications in the regulation of protein translation and of chromatin. He also has extensive experience in genomics, and was Director of the Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics from 2011 to 2022. This Centre is the largest technical centre for genomics at any Australian university. Marc has co-founded two biotechnology companies – both which were ultimately listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). He has advised the NSW State Government, the Australian Federal Government and the Government of New Zealand on aspects of science policy.
