Abstract

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. Guy Oldrieve is first author on ‘ The genomic basis of host and vector specificity in non-pathogenic trypanosomatids’, published in BiO. He is a PhD student in the lab of Keith Matthews at the Institute for Immunology and Infection Research, in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, investigating the genetic basis of parasitism, informed by computational and molecular approaches.
