First person - Richard Eva.

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. Richard Eva is the first author on 'EFA6 regulates selective polarised transport and axon regeneration from the axon initial segment', published in Journal of Cell Science. Richard is a research associate in the laboratory of Prof. James Fawcett, investigating the intrinsic mechanisms preventing brain and spinal cord axons from regenerating after injury in order to identify novel strategies for enhancing repair.
