Matthew Joseph Winans is an American molecular biologist who is currently the Director of Research, Development, and Innovation for an American yeast company, Imperial Yeast in Portland, Oregon. From 2015 to 2020 he was a protégé under Dr. Jennifer E.G. Gallagher in Morgantown, West Virginia mainly focusing on copper nanotechnology and systems biology.[1] In 2017, Dr. Winans was awarded the East Asia and Pacific Summer Institute (EAPSI) fellowship, under which Dr. Hiroshi Kitagaki and Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) facilitated Saccharomyces hybridization research for sake brewing.[2] Winans later published his research from sake brewing with yeast hybrids while in Japan.[3]
Winans received his bachelor of science degree in biology in 2012 from Fairmont State University (FSU) in Fairmont, WV. During his tenure at FSU, he was a member of the biology honors society, beta beta beta, and collegiate athlete. He then received his PhD in biology from the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University (WVU) where he utilized Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism and pursued the understudied yeast S. arboricola. During his tenure at WVU, he served as president of the Biology Graduate Student Association and won an entrepreneur pitch contest for his design to commercialize a yeast viability microscope using paramagnetism.[4] For his preliminary research and experimental design concepts, he was awarded a fellowship from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under IGERT: REN@WVU - Research and Education in Nanotoxicology at West Virginia University, award number: 1144676 in which the overarching projects were awarded $2,996,937.00.[5] He has published on the yeast response to copper nanoparticles[6][7][8] and geography of isolating wild yeast in Appalachia[9] on top of the brewing science research. In 2020 the WVU Research Repository Published his dissertation The Exploration of Nanotoxicological Copper and Interspecific Saccharomyces Hybrids.[10] Influential scientists on his committee included Jennifer Gallagher, Jennifer Hawkins, Kang Mo Ku, Daniel Panaccione, and Jonathan Cumming.
Winans is primarily known for his work in brewing and fermentation science specializing in Saccharomyces yeast for beer and sake production. His research suggests a broad introgression between Saccharomyces yeast involved with fermentation. Currently, there are innovation efforts to incorporate genomics and molecular biotechnology into the industrial craft fermentation industry.
