First person – Arturo Matamoros

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. Arturo Matamoros is first author on ‘ Capacitation-associated alkalization in human sperm is differentially controlled at the subcellular level’, published in JCS. Arturo is a PhD student in the lab of Claudia L. Treviño at the Biotechnology Institute, UNAM, Mexico, investigating human spermatozoa in order to decipher the molecular mechanisms to control the processes that make the sperm capable of swimming and fusing with the oocyte.
