Last chance to register to attend Focused Meeting 2018: British Yeast Group: Embracing Variation
20 June 2018
Registration to attend British Yeast Group: Embracing Variation is open until Monday 25 June.
Register on our website today to attend this event taking place between 27–29 June at Stamford Court, University of Leicester, UK.
In the past few years it has been clear that there is much to be learned from the genetic and phenotypic diversity in different isolates/strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, its close relatives and other yeasts found in different environments and uses. This year's meeting will embrace this diversity at all levels, bringing together yeast researchers from across the UK and beyond.
Key topics:
- Ecology and evolution
- Biotechnology and non-conventional yeasts
- Yeast as human disease models
- Complex traits
- Fundamental processes
