First person – Emily Warren

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. Emily Warren is first author on ‘ 17q12 deletion syndrome mouse model shows defects in craniofacial, brain and kidney development, and glucose homeostasis’, published in DMM. Emily conducted the research described in this article while a postdoctoral fellow in Eric M. Morrow's lab at Brown University, Providence, RI, USA. She is now a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Peter J. McGuire at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), Bethesda, MD, USA, investigating how metabolic dysfunction impacts the brain, particularly in the context of neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration.
