First person – Mayank Sharma

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. Mayank Sharma is first author on ‘Targeting specificity of nuclear-encoded organelle proteins with a self-assembling split-fluorescent protein toolkit’, published in JCS. Mayank is a PhD student in the lab of Prof. Ralf Bernd Klösgen at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, investigating targeting specificity of nuclear-encoded proteins into endosymbiotic organelles in plant cells.
