Abstract

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. Tanner Robertson is first author on ‘ Evidence that xylazine disrupts skin homeostasis by acting on epithelial cells through the kappa opioid receptor’, published in DMM. Tanner is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Anna Huttenlocher at University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA, investigating adaptive immunity and T-cell migration using zebrafish models.
