Come to the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm this Friday if you want to hear a story that starts in Patagonia and ends in a beer bottle! nobelprizemuseum.se/en/event…

Replying to @StelkensLab
We will be telling the story behind the beer and our exciting journey to get it bottled at The Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm on 13th February. See the invitation to the event here: nobelprizemuseum.se/en/event…

A new lager beer, in collaboration with the @StelkensLab, us 😅 and NilsOscar brewery, has seen the light. Indomitus lager brings the Patagonian Andes essence to a bottle. Out of hard scientific work, happy to see this happening 👏🏻👏🏻🍺🍺

We made a new lager beer! "Indomitus" for wild and untamed. Brewed with a wild yeast strain from Patagonia, this is the result of a super fun collaboration (and lots of hard work) with Francisco Cubillos, Chile @FcocubillosR and Andrés Furukawa at the Nils Oscar Brewery, Sweden

Welcome 2026 & our first submission. Here with @pablovilla81 & #Diego Libkind & colbs we dissected the S. eubayanus host preferences. Long story short, using 470 seq. we found that bark composition determines the yeast genomic structure. here 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Host-shift adaptation shapes genome architecture in S. eubayanus

The host environment can profoundly shape the genome architecture of microbial species, and Saccharomyces eubayanus , the wild progenitor of lager yeast, provides a natural system to study this...

One of the most exciting projects of my career, years in the making. Using high-throughput precision genome editing, we mapped the fitness effects of thousands of natural variants—challenging the idea that common variants are inconsequential. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

✨ Latest exciting story of @haploteam in @Nature. Here, we go beyond SNPs and built a species-wide atlas of genetic variants in yeast. With >1,000 near T2T genomes, we show how SVs shape the phenotypic landscape. @InstUnivFr @ERC_Research @CNRSbiologie nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

We have a new paper out in Molecular Ecology, led by @DevinBendixsen ! Reproductive isolation due to divergent ecological selection is accompanied by vast genomic instability in experimentally evolved yeast populations onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Crosses between divergent-selected lines produced hybrids with reduced gamete viability and striking genome instability (lots more SVs), while parallel-selected lines remained largely compatible. This links ecological selection to the emergence of “intrinsic” genetic barriers.

We are particularly happy to see this paper out. It has been in the making for a long time and was a large collaborative effort between postdocs @chloe_hbk, Phd students, and great colleagues in Gothenburg!

Happy to share with everyone our latest review published in @AnnualReviews Here we focus in Non-Saccharomyes yeasts, latest achievements, and future work on them annualreviews.org/content/jo… written by @pablovilla81, @JenniferMolinet @stephaniebraun @ibiochile me 👏👏👏

Non-Conventional Yeasts as a Source of Genetic Diversity and Biotechnological Potential

Most of our current knowledge about yeast is based on the workhorse Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, can this yeast represent the vast array of natural yeast life-forms? This review discusses...
