“Smyte” meeting in Crete

C. Gournas and B. André attended the 34th “Small Meeting on Yeast Transport and Energetics” (Smyte) which was organized by our colleague George Diallinas in Crete (August 29 – September 1). The Smyte annually gathers scientists from all countries who are interested in diverse aspects yeast membrane transporters: structure-function relationships, regulation of intracellular traffic, signalling properties, … B. André was invited to present the opening “Marcelle Grenson Lecture” of the meeting, and C. Gournas gave a presentation on the lateral segregation of the yeast arginine permease, Can1, at the plasma membrane. We all enjoyed the top-quality science presented at the meeting … as well as the many nice aspects of life in Crete, including a memorable music concert by Ross Daly & Kelly Thoma.
