First person – Pamela Martino Adami

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. Pamela Martino Adami is first author on ‘Perturbed mitochondria–ER contacts in live neurons that model the amyloid pathology of Alzheimer's disease’, published in JCS. Pamela conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Dr Laura Morelli's lab at Fundación Instituto Leloir–IIBBA CONICET, Argentina. She is now a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the lab of Dr Alfredo Ramirez at the University of Cologne, Germany, investigating the biochemical mechanisms and signaling pathways responsible for the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
