First person – Anuttoma Ray

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. Anuttoma Ray is the first author on ‘Dileucine-like motifs in the C-terminal tail of connexin32 control its endocytosis and assembly into gap junctions’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Anuttoma is a PhD student in the lab of Dr Parmender P. Mehta at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, USA, investigating the molecular mechanisms that regulate assembly of connexins into gap junctions.
