We received the sad news that Dr. Lex Scheffers, professor emeritus of TU Delft, has passed away in May. Prof. Scheffers was an active member of the International Commission on Yeasts for many years, and the Founding Editor of FEMS Yeast Research.
In memory of his many achievements, ICY and FEMS will honour him during the congress by awarding a best presentation prize in the field of yeast physiology, sponsored by FEMS.
The scientific community of yeast researchers mourns the passing of Stefan Hohmann in early July 2021. Prof. Hohmann was one of the European pioneers of yeast molecular biology and Professor at Gothenburg University and Chalmers University of Technology.
Stefan Hohmann chaired the International Conference on Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology (ICYGMB) in Gothenburg both in 2003 and in 2019. He also served as chair of the Finance and Policy Committee of the International Yeast Community that is responsible for organizing ICYGMB every second year since the 1960ies.
Call for papers
FEMS Yeast Research will publish a Thematic Issue (TI) to coincide with the ICY15 meets ICYGMB30.
All prospective attendees are invited to submit their research articles to FEMS Yeast Research for consideration. Articles on any aspect of yeast that relates to conference themes are welcome. The emphasis is on original research but mini-reviews or commentaries may also be considered. For either of the latter, prospective authors must contact the Editor-in-Chief in advance.
Submit by 30 April 2021 to be included when the Spirit of Yeast thematic issue is launched at the Congress but submissions will accepted up to 30 July 2021!
