First person – Madeleine Clark and Antonela Losada

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Madeleine Clark and Antonela Losada are co-first authors on ‘Nuclear blebs are composed of variable chromatin states and display increased transcription initiation relative to elongation’, published in BiO. Madeleine and Antonela are both lab managers in the lab of Andrew Stephens at University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA, USA, investigating the formation and drivers of nuclear blebs, a type of abnormal nuclear morphology and hallmark of disease.
