Abstract

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. Anna Bajur is first author on ‘Cytocortex-dependent dynamics of Drosophila Crumbs controls junctional stability and tension during germ band retraction’, published in JCS. Anna conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Prof. Elisabeth Knust's lab at Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden, Germany. She is now a Research associate/Postdoc in the lab of Dr Katelyn Spillane at King's College London, Department of Physics, UK, investigating the interplay between mechanical forces and the plasma membrane, especially in the context of signalling and modulation of cellular behaviour.
