First person – Samantha Salvage

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. Samantha Salvage is first author on ‘Ion channel gating in cardiac ryanodine receptors from the arrhythmic RyR2-P2328S mouse’, published in JCS. Samantha conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc with James A Fraser, Physiological Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK and visiting postdoc with Angela F Dulhunty's lab at The Australian National University, Acton, Australia. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Antony P. Jackson at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, UK, investigating cellular and molecular determinants of cardiac conduction and their implications for arrhythmogenesis.
