First person – Hyunjung Lee

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. Hyunjung Lee is the first author on ‘Force-history dependence and cyclic mechanical reinforcement of actin filaments at the single molecular level’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Hyunjung conducted the work described in this article while a postdoc in the lab of Larry McIntire at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA. She is now a research assistant in Shoichiro Ono's lab at Emory University, Atlanta, investigating at single-molecule level how the microenvironment affects cellular motility and functions.
