About
Margaux Bernard is a leading researcher in yeast phenomics and enological microbiology, with a focus on the quantitative traits of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* under winemaking conditions. Her most cited work, the 2018 paper "Wine yeast phenomics: A standardized fermentation method for assessing quantitative traits of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* strains in enological conditions," has garnered 38 citations, establishing a foundational methodology for the field. In this study, Bernard developed a reproducible, small-scale fermentation system using standardized screw-cap vessels to monitor alcoholic fermentation kinetics across hundreds of yeast strains. This innovation enables high-throughput phenotyping, allowing researchers to systematically link genetic variation to fermentation performance—a critical step for improving wine quality and strain selection. By providing a robust, scalable platform for measuring traits like fermentation rate and efficiency, Bernard’s work bridges functional genomics and applied oenology. Her contributions empower both academic labs and industrial partners to explore yeast diversity with unprecedented precision, making her a key figure in advancing sustainable, data-driven viticulture.
