Abstract
First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Camille Lacarrière-Keïta is first author on ‘ Autophagy inhibition in intestinal stem cells favors enteroendocrine cell differentiation through Stat92E activity’, published in DMM. Camille conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Professor Steve Jean's lab at Université de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Canada. She is now a postdoc researcher in the lab of Dr Edward A. Fon and Dr Ziv Gan-Or at McGill University, Ville-Marie, Canada, investigating GCase lysosomal trafficking and activity in dopaminergic neurons harbouring a reduced expression of lysosomal Parkinson's disease-risk genes.
