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. Xiaolei Gao is first author on ‘The spindle pole body of Aspergillus nidulans is asymmetrical and contains changing numbers of γ-tubulin complexes’, published in JCS. Xiaolei is a post-doc in the lab of Reinhard Fischer at the Institute for Applied Biosciences, Karlsruhe, Germany, where she focuses on elucidation of the organization of MTOCs at a molecular level.
