First person – Fabrice Senger

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. Fabrice Senger is first author on ‘Spatial integration of mechanical forces by α-actinin establishes actin network symmetry’, published in JCS. Fabrice is an engineer in the lab of Laurent Blanchoin and Manuel Théry at the Cytomorpholab, Université Grenoble-Alpes, Grenoble, France, where he is mainly focused on cytoskeletal dynamics and more particularly on actin and microtubules, aiming to address how each of these structures, or their interaction, allow the maintenance of cellular homeostasis with respect to size, mechanical status and intracellular organization.
