Olga Vladimirovna Boudker (Russian: Ольга Владимировна Будкер) is a Russian born physicist who is a professor of physiology and biophysics at the Weill Cornell Medicine. She looks to understand the mechanisms of membrane transporters in cellular function. She was elected a fellow of the National Academy of Sciences in 2022.
Boudker was born in Russia and is a third generation scientist.[1] She was an undergraduate student at the Novosibirsk State University.[2] She moved to the Weizmann Institute of Science for graduate studies, working on the biochemistry of sphingolipids.[2] She joined Johns Hopkins University for her doctoral research, investigating the stability of oligomeric proteins.[3] Boudker then joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University as a postdoctoral fellow.[citation needed] During her postdoctoral research she became interested in the mechanisms of membrane transporters.
