# First person – Marek Hampl

## TL;DR

This paper discusses Marek Hampl's research on early embryogenesis in a mouse model to study facial clefts and cranial development.

## Contribution

The study introduces a new mouse model to investigate craniofacial developmental defects.

## Key findings

- The CHDFIDD mouse model reveals facial clefts during early embryogenesis.
- Altered cranial neurogenesis is observed in the model.

## Abstract

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Marek Hampl is first author on ‘
Early embryogenesis in CHDFIDD mouse model reveals facial clefts and altered cranial neurogenesis’, published in DMM. Marek is a postdoc in the lab of Marcela Buchtová at the Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics, Brno, Czech Republic, investigating developmental defects of craniofacial region and limbs.
