First person – Anahi Capmany

ABSTRACT 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. Anahi Capmany is first author on ‘MYO1C stabilizes actin and facilitates the arrival of transport carriers at the Golgi complex’, published in JCS. Anahi conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc in Kristine Schauer's Molecular Mechanisms of Intracellular Transport group at the Institut Curie (Paris, France). She is now a researcher in the lab of Maria Teresa Damiani (School of Medicine FCM-UNCUYO, CONICET, Mendoza, Argentina), investigating the functions of myosins and Rab proteins during infection by Chlamydia trachomatis, a sexually transmitted intracellular bacterium.
