Yeasterday 2013- May 24


Yeasterday is the annual meeting of Dutch and Belgian yeast research groups. The 2013 edition will be held in Belgium at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering, Ghent University.

The 2013 organizing committee: The Centre of Expertise for Industrial Biotechnology and Biocatalysis (InBio.be) comprises a group of about 40 academics. Besides the performed academic research, InBio.be is connected to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant in the port of Ghent and hence strives for collaboration with companies to develop new technologies and bio based products. Three different research groups at InBio.be are currently involved in yeast research and are eager to share their knowledge with you at Yeasterday 2013.
