First person – Corrine Kliment

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. Corrine Kliment is first author on ‘Adenine nucleotide translocase regulates airway epithelial metabolism, surface hydration and ciliary function’, published in JCS. Corrine conducted the research described in this article while a post-doctoral Fellow in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine in Doug Robinson, PhD's lab at Department of Cell Biology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA. She is now an Assistant Professor in her own lab at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, investigating the role of mitochondrial proteins in epithelial cell homeostasis in lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary fibrosis.
