British Yeast Group 2021: The Future of Yeast Research 07-09 December 2021

Formedium are proud to be sponsoring this online event, organised by the University of Cambridge.

The event will be an opportunity for yeast researchers in the UK and Ireland to meet virtually to present and discuss their latest research. The three-day programme will include invited lectures, offered papers, poster flashes, poster sessions and break-out discussions. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on the current state of yeast research and discuss the directions in which the field should move in the future. To that end, the programme will include a panel discussion, chaired by Nobel Laureate, Paul Nurse, focusing on the future of yeast research, in which questions and comments will be welcome from the audience.

Key topics:

• Cell and developmental biology
• Evolution and ecology
• Synthetic and systems biology
