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. Keiichiro Sakai is first author on ‘ Near-infrared imaging in fission yeast using a genetically encoded phycocyanobilin biosynthesis system’, published in JCS. Keiichiro is a PhD student in the lab of Kazuhiro Aoki at the Quantitative Biology Research Group, Exploratory Research Center on Life and Living Systems (ExCELLS), National Institutes of Natural Sciences, Okazaki, Aichi, Japan, investigating how phycocyanobilin, a linear tetrapyrrole, brightens near-infrared fluorescent proteins, including iRFP, as a chromophore more efficiently than biliverdin in fission yeast.
