ECR Spotlight – Abel Mebrahtu

ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Abel Mebrahtu is an author on ‘ Reconsidering assumptions in the analysis of muscle fibre cross-sectional area’, published in JEB. Abel is an MSc Graduate Student in the lab of Dr Walter Herzog at the University of Calgary, Canada, investigating the biomechanical properties and molecular pathways of various muscle or joint pathophysiology conditions, such as osteoarthritis.
