TPP:Authors and Contributors
From SPCTools
The Trans-Proteomic Pipeline (TPP) is a collaborative open-source project. It was originally started at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) in the Aebersold Lab. The project has since grown, with active contributors from institutions all over the world. The ISB continues to provide primary support for the project, with other primary collaborators and contributors at Insilicos LLC, the University of Washington, Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center, and the University of Hong Kong.
