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. Franziska Lehne is first author on ‘ Swip-1 promotes exocytosis of glue granules in the exocrine Drosophila salivary gland’, published in JCS. Franziska conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Prof. Dr Sven Bogdan's lab at the Institute of Physiology and Pathophysiology, Department of Molecular Cell Physiology, Philipps-University Marburg, Germany. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Prof. Dr Christian Helker at Philipps-University Marburg, investigating the formation of the lymphatic vasculature in zebrafish.
