About
Dr. Iris Fañanás‐Pueyo is a molecular biologist whose research centers on gene regulation and high-throughput functional genomics, with a particular focus on DNA-protein interactions in yeast. Her major contribution lies in advancing the yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) system, a powerful tool for mapping transcriptional networks. In her highly cited 2024 work, she developed a streamlined workflow to select functional promoter DNA baits and screen arrayed gene libraries, addressing a critical bottleneck in the field: the efficient generation and validation of prey collections. This methodological innovation enables researchers to more rapidly and reliably identify transcription factors that bind specific genomic regions, accelerating studies of gene expression control. Although early in her career, her work has already garnered attention, with her most cited paper accumulating 3 citations. Dr. Fañanás‐Pueyo’s contributions are notable for their practical impact, offering a scalable, cost-effective solution that empowers both academic labs and commercial services to conduct comprehensive Y1H screenings. Her research promises to deepen our understanding of regulatory networks and holds potential applications in synthetic biology and biotechnology.
