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. Adam Farmer is first author on ‘ trithorax is an essential regulator of cardiac Hox gene expression and anterior-posterior patterning of the Drosophila embryonic heart tube’, published in BiO. Adam conducted the research described in this article while a graduate research assistant (PhD student) in Dr Kristopher Schwab's lab at Indiana State University, USA. He is now a medical student in the lab of Dr Fen Lei Chang at Indiana University School of Medicine, investigating basic and translational research exploring underlying mechanisms in development and disease.
