First person – Sherif Khodeer

Abstract

ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Sherif Khodeer is first author on ‘ ALKBH5 regulates somatic cell reprogramming in a phase-specific manner’, published in JCS. Sherif conducted the research described in this article while a postdoctoral research fellow in John Arne Dahl's lab at Oslo University Hospital. He is now a postdoctoral research fellow in the lab of Vincent Pasque at University of Leuven Department of Development and Regeneration, Leuven B3000, Belgium, investigating reprogramming, pluripotency and early development.
