First person – Abigail Moye

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. Abigail Moye is first author on ‘ Sub-ciliary localization of CEP290 and effects of its loss in mouse photoreceptors during development’, published in JCS. Abigail conducted the research described in this article while a postdoc in Theodore Wensel's lab at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, USA. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Carlo Rivolta at Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB), Basel, Switzerland, investigating molecular biology of tissue patterning and development in the eye, with specific interests in the ultrastructure, development and morphogenesis of the retina and surrounding epithelia, genetics of hereditary retinal dystrophies and complex conditions.
