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. Olivera Mitevska is first author on ‘ Lis1–dynein drives corona compaction and limits erroneous microtubule attachment at kinetochores’, published in JCS. Olivera conducted the research described in this article while an Undergraduate Research Fellow in Dr Philip Auckland's lab at Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics, King's College London, London, UK. She is now a Placement student in the lab of Prof. Zameel Cader at Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, UK. She has broad interests in cell and molecular biology; currently she is working on elucidating circadian biology in the CNS as part of a professional placement on the MSci Pharmacology with Professional Placement Year course at King's College London.
