# First person – Will Scott

## TL;DR

This paper introduces fluorescent protein tags to compare human tropomyosin isoforms, aiding in understanding actin cytoskeleton dynamics.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the development of fluorescent protein tags for direct comparison of human tropomyosin isoforms.

## Key findings

- Fluorescent tags enable visualization and comparison of tropomyosin isoforms in live cells.
- The method provides insights into actin cytoskeleton-associated functions of tropomyosin.
- This approach supports further studies on cytoskeletal regulation and disease mechanisms.

## Abstract

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. Will Scott is first author on ‘
Fluorescent protein tags for human tropomyosin isoform comparison’, published in BiO. Will is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Professor Mohan Balasubramanian at Warwick Medical School, University of Warwick, interested in engineering proteins and synthesising organic molecules to tackle actin cytoskeleton-associated challenges.
