Ron Davis discusses his research at Stanford – interview with Llewellyn King, ME/CFS Alert

 

[Binkie4]

Anyone able to say anything about “ baker’s yeast”?

Dr Davis was starting to talk about this when Llewelyn King asked him about the NIH. About 18 minutes in.

Baker’s yeast? In research. See below.

Subject was changed to NIH before Dr Davis was able to say more. He was talking about the metabolic trap.

I think he was talking about putting the pathways associated with the metabolic trap, into bakers yeast.
Presumably to make it easier to study.

Thank you @BurnA . As a non scientist, I find it all very difficult.

I don’t think the OMF symposium a week ago talked about the “ metabolic trap”. If they are still working on it, it would have been interesting to hear.

Yes they did and yes they are.

PLease let us know the date of this interview. Thanks

I think they are referring to saccharomyces boulardii natural yeast, not 'baker's yeast'.

That was my interpretation too. It sounds like genetic engineering of yeast to put our vulnerabilities in them. Being easy to grow you then have large samples to work with.

There is discussion on the other forum about the metabolic trap for anyone wishing to pursue it.

I thought this was a very informative interview, densely packed with information on a variety of subjects. Lewellyn King is clearly well-versed in recent developments and asks very pertinent questions.

If one pays as close attention to the news as the members of this forum do, it may seem like familiar territory, but for a lot of people this interview will provide some very helpful insights into the work at Stanford.
