First person – Josh Currie

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Josh Currie is first author on ‘The Prrx1 limb enhancer marks an adult subpopulation of injury-responsive dermal fibroblasts', published in BiO. This work was initially started in Elly Tanaka's lab but was completed in the lab of Tatiana Sandoval-Guzmán at the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden. Josh worked in Tatiana's lab in Dresden on the later portions of this project. He is now an assistant professor at Department of Cell and Systems Biology/Department of Biochemistry, University of Toronto, Canada, investigating how molecules and cells are coordinated in time and space to recreate and repair tissues after injury.
