First person – Atsushi Taniguchi and Yukinori Nishigami

Abstract

ABSTRACT 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. Atsushi Taniguchi and Yukinori Nishigami are co-first authors on ‘ Light-sheet microscopy reveals dorsoventral asymmetric membrane dynamics of Amoeba proteus during pressure-driven locomotion’, published in BiO. Atsushi is a postdoc in the lab of Toshiyuki Nakagaki at Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Kita-Ward Sapporo, Japan, investigating algorithms for collective space exploration and use in ciliates and amoebae. Yukinori is an assistant professor in the lab of Toshiyuki Nakagaki at the Research Institute for Electronic Science, Hokkaido University, Kita-Ward Sapporo, Japan, investigating the behavior of protists.
