“Yeast Research: Origins, Insights, Breakthroughs” meeting at Cold Spring Harbor

Bruno André attended the “Yeast Research: Origins, Insights, Breakthroughs” (October 23-26) meeting organized by the Cold Spring Harbor laboratory. The meeting was the “yeast” version of a special meeting series organized by Mila Pollock and dedicated to the history of sciences based on model organisms and to the latest advances in the field. The communication of B. André dealt with the pioneering role of Marcelle Grenson (ULB) in the development of yeast genetics in Belgium in the early 60s, and the recent data of the lab about TORC1 control in yeast.
