The Focused Meeting 2018 on British Yeast Group: Embracing Variation will be held on 27-29 June 2018 at 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 focused 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

Important Dates

• Early Bird Registration Deadline: 27 May 2018
• Abstract Submission Deadline: 29 April 2018
