This is the premier yeast meeting for students, postdoctoral scholars, research staff, principal investigators, and industry scientists who use Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related species to investigate fundamental questions in genetics, genomics, cell biology, systems biology, evolution, development, aging, and biotechnology.
We are delighted that the Yeast Genetics Meeting will be held at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in beautiful Pacific Grove, California. This 107-acre protected coastal state park is located on the Monterey Peninsula. With miles of trails that lead you along the scenic coastline as well as through the park, it is the perfect environment in which to learn, share research, and meet with colleagues.
