Summary: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. Jessica Sharrock is first author on 'fs(1)h controls metabolic and immune function and enhances survival via AKT and FOXO in Drosophila', published in DMM. Jessica conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Marc S. Dionne's lab at MRC Centre for Molecular Bacteriology and Infection, Imperial College London, UK. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Joseph C.
