First person – Jo Strachan

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 researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Jo Strachan is first author on ‘ SUMOylation regulates Lem2 function in centromere clustering and silencing’, published in JCS. Jo conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc in Elizabeth Bayne's lab at University of Edinburgh, UK. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Steven Spoel at University of Edinburgh. Her interest is in exploring the diverse roles of the small protein modifiers ubiquitin and SUMO.
