First person – Andrea R. López-Pastor and Jorge Infante-Menéndez

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Andrea R. López-Pastor and Jorge Infante-Menéndez are co-first authors on ‘ Concerted regulation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease progression by microRNAs in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice’, published in DMM. Andrea is a PhD student in the lab of Óscar Escribano and Almudena Gómez-Hernández at Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain, investigating molecular mechanisms by which microRNAs are involved in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Jorge is a research assistant in the same lab, investigating translational approaches to microRNA dysregulation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease progression.
