Abstract
ABSTRACTFirst 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. Jessica Kabutomori is first author on ‘Water transport mediated by murine urea transporters: implications for urine concentration mechanisms’, published in BIO. Jessica is a masters student in the lab of Raif Musa Aziz at the Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of São Paulo, investigating water transport across murine urea transporters UT-A2, UT-A3 and UT-B, towards the goal of better understanding the role(s) of these proteins in the kidney.
Highlights
What has surprised you the most while conducting your research? For many years, urea transporters (UTs) have been the subject of many renal physiology studies
Jessica Kabutomori is first author on ‘Water transport mediated by murine urea transporters: implications for urine concentration mechanisms’, published in BIO
What is your scientific background and the general focus of your lab? For the past year, I have been working in the laboratory of Dr Raif Musa-Aziz, where we study the water, urea and NH3 transport properties of membrane proteins heterologously expressed in Lithobates catesbeianus oocytes
