First person – Thomas Sladewski

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. Thomas Sladewski is first author on ‘ Molecular features of myosin F adapted for driving actin flows in Toxoplasma gondii’, published in JCS. Thomas undertook this work as an Assistant Research Professor at University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA, and will shortly be moving to SUNY Upstate, New York, USA, as an Assistant Professor, investigating how evolutionary changes in actin reshape cytoskeletal dynamics to control cellular behavior.
