First person – Norbert Volkmar

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. Norbert Volkmar is first author on ‘The ER membrane protein complex promotes biogenesis of sterol-related enzymes maintaining cholesterol homeostasis’, published in JCS. Norbert conducted the research described in this article while a DPhil student in John Christianson s lab at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, University of Oxford, UK. He is now a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Paul Lehner at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, University of Cambridge, UK, investigating researching the fundamental mechanisms of cellular protein and lipid homeostasis.
