Juan Manuel Iglesias Artola

Juan Iglesias Artola developed the first quantitative methodology for measuring lipid transport in mammalian cells, as a postdoc in the Nadler lab at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden. Combining photoactivatable and clickable lipid probes, quantitative imaging and mathematical modelling, he showed with his collaborators that cells sort lipids through protein-mediated, non-vesicular transport rather than vesicle traffic. He is now CEO of Blue Ice Labs GmbH.
