| Summary: | First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Pankaj Dubey and Tushna Kapoor are co-first authors on ‘Atypical septate junctions maintain the somatic enclosure around maturing spermatids and prevent premature sperm release in Drosophila testis’, published in BiO. Pankaj is a Postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr Subhojit Roy at Wisconsin Institute of Medical Research (WIMR) II, Madison, USA, investigating how to understand how cytoskeleton dynamics shapes neuronal physiology and transport. Tushna is a PhD student in the lab of Prof. Krishanu Ray at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India, investigating the interplay between cell adhesion, the cytoskeleton and membrane dynamics.
