First person – Favour Ononiwu

ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Favour Ononiwu is first author on ‘ Insights into the zebrafish left–right organizer's centrosomes and cilia via volume electron microscopy’, published in BiO. Favour conducted the research described in this article while a PhD graduate student in Dr Heidi Hehnly's lab at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, USA. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Dr Amy Kiger at University of California San Diego (UCSD), La Jolla, CA, USA, investigating mechanisms that drive tissue-scale morphogenesis, and maintenance in developmental and disease settings.
