First person – Rachel Margraf

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. Rachel Margraf is co-first author on ‘Connexin 43 K63-polyubiquitylation on lysines 264 and 303 regulates gap junction internalization’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Rachel recently graduated from the lab of Dr Matthias Falk at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, USA, where she studied molecular mechanisms of gap junction turnover, including phosphorylation and ubiquitylation.
