ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Tanja Müller is first author on ‘ The neuronal transcription factor MEIS2 is a calpain-2 protease target’, published in JCS. Tanja conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Prof. Dr Dorothea Schulte's lab at the Institute of Neurology (Edinger Institute), University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany. She is now a postdoc and co-lead of the Translational Neurooncology Junior Group in the lab of Dr Ann-Christin Hau at the Translational Neurooncology Group at the University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany.
