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. Meg Watt is co-first author on ‘ Disrupting the interaction between AMBRA1 and DLC1 prevents apoptosis while enhancing autophagy and mitophagy’, published in BiO. Meg conducted the research described in this article while a cell biology research assistant in Kate Hawkins's lab at MSD, London. She is now a PhD student in the lab of Fiona Houston at the Roslin Institute, Easter Bush, Edinburgh, investigating the processes involved in neurodegenerative diseases and potential therapeutic targets and strategies to treat them.
