First person – Nadine Pollak

Abstract

ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Nadine Pollak is first author on ‘ Cell cycle progression and transmitotic apoptosis resistance promote escape from extrinsic apoptosis’, published in JCS. Nadine conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc at the Institute of Cell Biology and Immunology, University of Stuttgart, Germany, initially under the supervision of Prof. Peter Scheurich and subsequently in the lab of Prof. Markus Rehm, where she is now investigating the mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions in response to death stimuli throughout the cell cycle at the single-cell level.
