ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Sarantis Korniotis is first author on ‘ GM-CSF-activated human dendritic cells promote type 1 T follicular helper cell polarization in a CD40-dependent manner’, published in JCS. Sarantis conducted the research described in this article while a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Vassili Soumelis's lab at Saint-Louis Hospital, Université de Paris, France.
