A QTL analysis from @fcocubillosr.bsky.social lab for natural variation in maltose consumption in Saccharomyces eubayanus (a brewing #yeast 🍻 ) identifies loci associated with differences in maltose metabolism, which carries the transcriptional activator MAL33.

We made a new lager beer! "Indomitus" for wild and untamed. Brewed with a wild yeast strain from Patagonia! This is the result of a super fun collaboration (and lots of hard work) with Francisco Cubillos in Chile (@fcocubillosr.bsky.social) and Andrés Furukawa at the Nils Oscar Brewery in Sweden.

After many attempts, we finally managed to hold a fantastic lab retreat with PhD students, postdocs, young PIs, and former lab members.
Great discussions, honest conversations, and real trust-building. Many thanks to @embo.org for supporting this community-building experience.

Excellent experience at the @embo.org Sectorial Meeting on Evolution. Cozy talks on chalk talk format together with different motivated colleagues, getting feedback and super nice conversations. Had the chance to invite the junior PI @pablo-villa.bsky.social Loved the experience! EMBO
