First person – Carlos Martín-Rodríguez
ABSTRACTFirst 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. Carlos Martín-Rodríguez is first author on ‘TrkB deubiquitylation by USP8 regulates receptor levels and BDNF-dependent neuronal differentiation’, published in JCS. Carlos conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Juan Carlos Arévalo's lab at the Instituto de Neurociencias de Castilla y León, University of Salamanca, Spain. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Aranzazu Sanchez and Blanca Herrera at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, investigating the transmission of molecular signals from the cell exterior to the interior.
