First person – Jacqueline Simonet

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Jacqueline Simonet is first author on ‘ CTP synthase polymerization in germline cells of the developing Drosophila egg supports egg production ’, published in BiO. Jacqueline conducted the research described in this article while a postdoctoral research associate in Jeffrey Peterson's lab at Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA and is now a Visiting Assistant Professor at Arcadia University, PA, investigating the regulation of cell metabolism, particularly the regulation of biosynthetic enzymes by filamentation using Drosophila as a model system.
