First person – Jeanette C. Perron

Abstract

First 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. Jeanette C. Perron is first author on ‘Chemotropic signaling by BMP7 requires selective interaction at a key residue in ActRIIA’, published in BiO. Jeanette is an assistant professor at St John's University, USA, investigating the specificity of BMP-dependent intracellular signaling in neural development and disease.
