The yeast research project began at Goshen College in 1994 after Stan Grove returned from a sabbatical at Northwestern University. Since then dozens of students have contributed to the project in a variety of settings. Some students work voluntarily in the lab, while others are paid assistants, while still others receive course credit for their work. After years of research we have gained a better understanding of the inner workings of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We will discuss the origin of the project as well as the goals of our research. The section entitled "Knowledge Gained", details the findings we have made in the past. The "Current Developments" section shows any developments and includes some of the long term goals of this kind of research. We hope you enjoy our site.
