First person – Elliott Bernard

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. Elliott Bernard is first author on ‘M. tuberculosis infection of human iPSC-derived macrophages reveals complex membrane dynamics during xenophagy evasion’, published in JCS. Elliott is a PhD student in the lab of Maximiliano (Max) Gutierrez at The Francis Crick Institute, London, UK, investigating the cell biology of the endolysosomal and autophagy systems and their dysfunction in disease.
