First person – Ines Alvarez Rodrigo

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. Ines Alvarez Rodrigo is first author on ‘ Ana1 helps recruit Polo to centrioles to promote mitotic PCM assembly and centriole elongation’, published in JCS. Ines conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Jordan Raff's lab at Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, Oxford, UK. She is now a postdoc in the lab of J. P. Vincent at The Francis Crick Institute, London, UK, investigating applying advanced microscopy techniques to study Wnt signalling during development.
