First person – Susan M. Motch Perrine and Meng Wu

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. Susan M. Motch Perrine and Meng Wu are co-first authors on ‘Mandibular dysmorphology due to abnormal embryonic osteogenesis in FGFR2-related craniosynostosis mice’, published in DMM. Susan is an Assistant Research Professor of Anthropology in the lab of Joan T. Richtsmeier at the Department of Anthropology, Pennsylvania State University, USA, with a current focus on craniofacial variation using an interdisciplinary approach which combines high-resolution imaging, geometric morphometrics and wet lab techniques. Meng is an Instructor (tenure-track) in the lab of Ethylin Wang Jabs at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA, investigating the developmental mechanisms of birth defects, currently focusing on modelling and elucidating human malformation disorders using mice, organoids, pluripotent stem cells and bioinformatics.
