Abstract

ABSTRACTFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Samanta Sarti is first author on ‘Inducible modulation of miR-204 levels in a zebrafish melanoma model’, published in BiO. Samanta conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Laura Poliseno's lab at the Oncogenomics Unit Core Research Laboratory (CRL), ISPRO/Institute of Clinical Physiology (IFC), CNR, in Pisa, Italy. She is now a Postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Samuel Sidi in the Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology and Department of Cell, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, at the Tisch Cancer Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, investigating the role of miR-204 in melanoma development by its inducible modulation in a zebrafish melanoma model.
