First person – Julia Spear

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. Julia Spear is first author on ‘ Single-cell intracellular pH dynamics regulate the cell cycle by timing the G1 exit and G2 transition’, published in JCS. Julia is a PhD student in the lab of Katharine White at the Harper Cancer Research Institute, University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN, USA, investigating single-cell intracellular pH dynamics during the cell cycle and intracellular pH heterogeneity in diseases such as cancer.
