Yolanda Olmos leads the polarity and trafficking laboratory at the Cell Biology Department of Complutense University (UCM, Madrid, Spain) and currently holds a Ramón y Cajal fellowship from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. Yolanda completed her PhD (2010) at the Spanish National Center for Cardiovascular Research (Madrid, Spain) investigating the transcriptional regulation of antioxidant genes in the vasculature. She then moved to London (UK) for her postdoctoral studies. First, at Imperial College London (2010-2011), she studied the role of FOXO transcription factors in chemotherapeutic drug resistance; then, she moved to King´s College London and The Francis Crick Institute (2012-2019), focusing her work on understanding the role of the ESCRT machinery in regulating nuclear envelope regeneration during mitotic exit. Yolanda´s current research interests center around the interplay between membrane trafficking pathways and the generation and maintenance of cell polarity.
Well done!
