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. Samantha Thompson is first author on ‘ P23H rhodopsin accumulation causes transient disruptions to synaptic protein levels in rod photoreceptors in a model of retinitis pigmentosa’, published in DMM. Samantha is a PhD candidate in the lab of Dr Michael Robichaux at West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA, investigating protein trafficking with high-resolution retinal imaging.
