Excited to share the latest from @FungiaLab at @sesbe_meetings!🧬 We’re pushing the boundaries of yeast evolution and species delimitation. Understanding where one lineage ends and another begins is the key to unlocking fungal biodiversity. 🍄✨

We just joined Southern Hemisphere efforts and co-authored a review on yeast research from this side of the world 🌎 Turns out, there’s a lot to tell—and much more to come! Huge thanks to Varela’s team and @pablovilla81 for the great collaboration 🍻

🚀 On Oct 22, @FunGIALab met with top Spanish biotech companies for a B2B event at @iata_csic.
Great talks, exciting synergies! 💡
Thanks to the UTC department for making it happen!
