First person – Emily Herman

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. Emily Herman is the first author on ‘Identification and characterisation of a cryptic Golgi complex in Naegleria gruberi’, published in Journal of Cell Science. Emily is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr Joel Dacks at the University of Alberta, Canada, investigating evolution of the membrane trafficking system in microbial eukaryotes.
