First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Ling-shiang (Felix) Chuang is first author on ‘ Zebrafish modeling of intestinal injury, bacterial exposures and medications defines epithelial in vivo responses relevant to human inflammatory bowel disease ’, published in DMM. Ling-shiang is an instructor in the lab of Judy Cho at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA, investigating how to establish human genetic-driven personalized drug treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by using zebrafish as a screening model.
