Yeast mating: here we go!

I am absolutely delighted to share the news that, together with Irene Stefanini (U. Torino), Daniel Segrè (Boston Uni) and Elizabeth New (U. Sydney), we have been awarded a grant from the Human Frontiers Science Program to work on the biophysics of yeast mating. This is a very intriguing subject involving mechanical stresses, metabolism, mixing flows and…. (surprisingly) the gut of wasps! In our group, this grant will finance a postdoctoral position and a lab technician with a starting date of 1st of Nov. (Ads coming out soon)
