Abstract

ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Vincenzo Torraca is first author on ‘ Transcriptional profiling of zebrafish identifies host factors controlling susceptibility toShigella flexneri’, published in DMM. Vincenzo conducted the research described in this article while he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Imperial College London, UK and an ISSF (Institutional Strategic Support Fund)-Wellcome Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, where most of the work was carried out in Prof. Serge Mostowy's lab. He has just started his own group at King's College London, investigating host-pathogen interactions and antimicrobial resistance for globally relevant bacterial pathogens, such as Shigella and E. coli, using zebrafish as an in vivo model.
