First person – Judith Barbara Fülle
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. Judith Barbara Fülle is first author on ‘ Desmosome dualism – most of the junction is stable, but a plakophilin moiety is persistently dynamic’, published in JCS. Judith is a PhD student in the labs of Christoph Ballestrem, David R. Garrod and E. Birgitte Lane at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell-Matrix Research, University of Manchester, UK and the Skin Research Institute of Singapore, Agency of Science Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore, investigating the nature of cell–cell junctions, in particular the composition and regulation of desmosomes in health and disease.
