First person – Sherman Foo

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. Sherman Foo is first author on ‘ Diacylglycerol at the inner nuclear membrane fuels nuclear envelope expansion in closed mitosis’, published in JCS. Sherman conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in the labs of Snezhana Oliferenko (The Francis Crick Institute, London, UK, and Randall Centre for Cell and Molecular Biophysics, King's College London, UK) and Markus R. Wenk (Singapore Lipidomics Incubator, National University of Singapore). He is now a postdoc in the lab of Buzz Baum at Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Francis Crick Avenue, Cambridge, UK, where he is currently studying cellular organization of hyperthermophilic archaea, with a particular focus on the surface layer and cell cycle of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.
