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. Panagiota Giardoglou and Despina Bournele are co-first authors on ‘A zebrafish forward genetic screen identifies an indispensable threonine residue in the kinase domain of PRKD2’, published in BiO. Panagiota is a PhD student in the lab of Dr Dimitris Beis at the Biomedical Research Foundation Academy of Athens, Greece, investigating modelling human cardiovascular diseases and underlying the mechanisms involved in their pathophysiology. Despina is a toxicologist in the lab of Dr Kyriaki Machera at the Benaki Phytopathological Institute, Kifissia, Athens, Greece, investigating molecular and developmental biology, and zebrafish toxicology.
