Dr Ursula Bond, Trinity College Dublin.
"The Complex and Dynamic Genomes of Industrial Yeast".Dr Bond's group studies gene expression in lager yeasts, and is developing strains that can be used to create biofuel. She is also interested in mechanisms that control the synthesis of mRNA during the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle.
