ECR Spotlight – Dhairya Desai

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. Dhairya Desai is an author on ‘ Beyond calcium: cross-bridge binding regulates titin's contribution to muscle force’, published in JEB. Dhairya is a Graduate Student (MSc) in the lab of Walter Herzog at the University of Calgary, Canada, investigating muscle contraction at the protein level, aiming to clarify force production and functional performance.
