First person – Emily Jones, Zoe Matthews and Lejla Gul

摘要

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Emily Jones, Zoe Matthews and Lejla Gul are co-first authors on ‘Integrative analysis of Paneth cell proteomic and transcriptomic data from intestinal organoids reveals functional processes dependent on autophagy’, published in DMM. Emily is a postdoctoral research scientist in the lab of Professor Simon Carding at Quadram Institute, Norwich, UK, investigating host-microbe interactions at the intestinal epithelial barrier. Zoe is a medical student (research completed during PhD) in the lab of Prof. Tom Wileman at Biomedical Research Centre, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK, investigating stem cell biology, focussing on the small intestine. Lejla is a PhD student in the lab of Dr Tamas Korcsmaros at Earlham Institute, Norwich, UK, investigating the effects of environmental (e.g. microbes) and genetic factors on the human autophagy process.
