Iolanda Vendrell joined the Discovery Proteomics Lab at the University of Oxford in 2015, as a senior scientist in Biological Mass Spectrometry, where currently she is the Technology Lead. She studied Biochemistry at the University of Barcelona and holds a PhD in Biochemistry (in the Neuroscience program) by the same University. Her interest in Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry started during her PhD. In 2007, she moved to the UK where she has been working in Proteomics labs in both Academia and Biotech companies. Over the years, she has developed an extensive expertise in using bottom up-proteomics for general discovery projects, biomarker discovery for clinical samples and post-translation modifications. Currently, one of her interest focuses on developing and implementing high-throughput proteomics platforms for clinical and non-clinical projects.
