Abstract
ABSTRACTFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Carina Lund is first author on ‘Characterization of the human GnRH neuron developmental transcriptome using a GNRH1-TdTomato reporter line in human pluripotent stem cells’, published in DMM. Carina is a PhD student in the lab of Taneli Raivio at the University of Helsinki, Finland, investigating neuronal differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells.
Highlights
What are the potential implications of these results for your field of research? Our data bring up many new interesting target genes, pathways and networks, and offer a good basis for future research in the field of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuron biology, and for disease modelling of Kallmann syndrome and congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

How would you explain the main findings of your paper to non-scientific family and friends? At puberty, the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons increase their pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone
