First person – Arthur Lensen and Margarida C. Gomes

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Arthur Lensen and Margarida C. Gomes are co-first authors on ‘ An automated microscopy workflow to study Shigella–neutrophil interactions and antibiotic efficacy in vivo’, published in DMM. Arthur conducted the research described in this article while an MSc student in Serge Mostowy's lab at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK. He is now a PhD student in the lab of Jost Enninga at Institut Pasteur, Paris, France, investigating host-pathogen interactions at the cellular and molecular level. Margarida is a research fellow in Serge Mostowy's lab at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, and works with the zebrafish infection model to study host-pathogen interactions, focusing on trained innate immunity.
