Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Organising Committee of the XXIII Yeast Biology Meeting Professor Nicolau van Uden, would like to announce that this meeting will be held at the Hotel Termas da Cúria, Aveiro, Portugal, on the 9th and 10th of October 2026. We are pleased to announce the publication of a Conference Supplement, which will include papers from the invited speakers and conference participants, in the Journal of Fungi.
Once again, we are excited to bring together the fungal research community. In this edition, we are broadening the scope of the meeting to include the participation of our colleagues working on fungi other than yeasts. We intend to create new synergies, exchange ideas, and share the latest knowledge across the following topics:
- Genomics and Evolution
- Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology
- Health
- Fermented Foods and Beverages
- Drug and stress resistance
- Adaptation, Cell Death and Ageing
We hope these two days will foster fruitful discussions, collaborations, and innovations that will enrich our community and inspire fungal research among early scientists and students.
The Organising Committee
