Environmental characteristics and weather impact yeast populations and... much more in our new study sciencedirect.com/science/articl… The results of a great collaboration with Beatrice Valentini, @GVigani @Noe22Gatti, and Simone Bossi
It takes a village... we went further into the intricate and fascinating associations between yeasts, insect vectors, and the environment nature.com/articles/s4159…
Greetings from @SustnetUnito !!! #sustainability #cooperation #PhD
Mercoledì 11 dicembre ore 17 (Aula C, DBIOS) e online unito.webex.com/unito/j.php?MT… conferenza del visiting professor Shinya Shoda "Living the gap: between the field and the laboratories, between science and the humanities". @unito @PalaeoTo1
Playing with microorganisms! #EuropeanResearchersNight #unight @LmvUnito


A new tool from our lab! 🎉 Fungal Identifier (FId): an updated PCR–RFLP approach to ease Ascomycetous yeast isolates’ identification in ecological studies mdpi.com/2924514 #mdpijof via @JoF_MDPI lmv.unito.it/news-e-tools #yeast #ecology #identification
We are also recruiting for an Assistant Professor (Research and Teaching): lnkd.in/eKrmT-Hx and an Assistant Professor (Research): lnkd.in/eVqdzBi9 #sciencejobs #biomedicaljobs #researchjobs #biomedicalsciences
Article on a phenomenon we refer to as the divergence-complexity effect in #MicrobialCommunities, by Michael Silverstein – collaboration between the labs of @jennymbhatnagar & @dsegre – out at @NatureEcoEvo. nature.com/articles/s4155…. What is the idea? 1/2
Open research fellowship in our lab! In the context of this project, various aspects of floral yeast metabolism will be studied, as well as their possible beneficial role in protecting bees against pathogens (bacteria and other fungi). 🐝 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/212468
Yeast folks, after a fun #TAGC24 meeting with yeast sessions, more fun to come with the 32nd International Conference on Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology. It will take place in Paris from July 21 to 24, 2025. Save the dates!

Does COVID-19 vaccination affect gut microbiome? We find minimal, if any, impact, even under immunodeficiency. Results encourage vaccine acceptance esp. considering large microbiome shifts observed during infection 🙏🏽 brilliant lab members + @Thav_Lab @MRC_TU @Cambridge_Uni ++
This study highlights the resilience of the gut microbiome to host immune changes triggered by COVID-19 vaccination and suggest minimal, if any, impact on microbiome-mediated processes life-science-alliance.org/content/7/4/e2…
A postdoc position is available in our lab 🦠🐝! If you are interested in delving into yeast-insect associations and their development, please get in touch. Thank you for sharing! pica.cineca.it/unito/assegni-…

Honoured and delighted to have been selected as one of the Consolidator Grants funded by the @ERC_Research with project #AviArch - using birds as a lens to understand human environment interactions in the past. 🐣🦉 Also truly grateful to reviewers and SH6 panel! @unito
