title: Interview with the Guest Editor - Andrew Ewald.
abstract: Andrew Ewald is an Associate Professor of Cell Biology, Oncology and Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD. He joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in 2008, after postdoctoral work with Zena Werb in mammary biology and cancer at the University of California, San Francisco. Andrew earned his PhD in 2003 in biochemistry and molecular biophysics from the California Institute of Technology, studying with Scott Fraser. Andrew studies how organs form and how breast cancer progresses to metastasis. His laboratory recently identified a unique class of breast cancer cells that lead the process of invasion into surrounding tissues - a first step in cancer metastasis. Andrew is the Guest Editor for this Special Issue (Issue 1, 2017) on 3D cell biology for Journal of Cell Science, and is now a permanent Editor for the journal.
