Sumario: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. Karin Tuschl is first author on ‘ Loss of slc39a14 causes simultaneous manganese hypersensitivity and deficiency in zebrafish’, published in DMM. Karin conducted the research described in this article while an academic clinical lecturer in Prof. Stephen Wilson’s and Prof. Corinne Houart's labs at University College London and King's College London, London, UK, respectively. She is now a MRC Clinician Scientist Fellow and has established her own group at UCL GOS Institute of Child Health, London, investigating the role of manganese in brain physiology and disease – from inherited manganese transporter defects to common neurodegenerative disorders.
