Pathway to Independence – an interview with James Gahan

Abstract

James Gahan is a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow supported by Rob Klose (University of Oxford, UK) and David Booth (University of California San Francisco, USA) interested in the evolutionary origins of animals and developmental gene regulation. James is part of the first cohort of Development's Pathway to Independence Programme Fellows, which aims to support postdocs in obtaining their first faculty positions. We met with James over Teams to learn more about his career using unconventional model systems and the future of his research as he moves towards setting up his own lab.
