Abstract

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. Sara Bonzano is first author on ‘ NR2F1 shapes mitochondria in the mouse brain, providing new insights into Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome’, published in DMM. Sara is a postdoc in the lab of Silvia De Marchis at the University of Turin, Turin, Italy, investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which NR2F1 regulates postnatal brain plasticity.
