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. Matías Capella is first author on ‘ ESCRT recruitment by the S. cerevisiae inner nuclear membrane protein Heh1 is regulated by Hub1-mediated alternative splicing’, published in JCS. Matías conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc in Prof. Dr Stefan Jentsch's lab at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Munich, Germany. He is now a postdoc in the lab of Dr Sigurd Braun at the Biomedical Center Munich, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich, investigating the regulation of repetitive DNA stability.
