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. Riddhi Girdhar Agarwal is first author on ‘ EB1 surges promote ciliary outer-segment growth through periodic tubulin influxes into the Drosophila olfactory cilia’, published in JCS. Riddhi is a PhD student in the lab of Prof. Krishanu Ray and Dr Swadhin Jana at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bangalore, India, investigating the molecular basis of ciliary cytoskeletal organization and its regulation during sensory cilium development.
