First person – Fabienne Dreier

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Fabienne Dreier is first author on ‘Multiplexed gene expression analysis in dissociated and intact planarian flatworm tissues using in situ hybridization chain reaction’, published in BiO. Fabienne is a PhD student in the lab of Jochen C. Rink at Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen, Germany, investigating the biology of regeneration and study the mechanisms of this process in planarian flatworms, which are able to regenerate any lost body part in only a few weeks.
