# First person – Muhammad Dimas Reza Rahmana

## TL;DR

This paper presents a 3D cell culture system to model early peritoneal endometriosis using patient-derived cells.

## Contribution

The study introduces a novel 3D cell culture system derived from patients to model early stages of peritoneal endometriosis.

## Key findings

- A patient-derived 3D cell culture system was developed to model early peritoneal endometriosis.
- The system allows for studying the formation of peritoneal endometriosis in a controlled environment.

## 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. Muhammad Dimas Reza Rahmana is first author on ‘
Compound design of a patient-derived 3D cell culture system modelling early peritoneal endometriosis’, published in DMM. Muhammad (Dimas) is a PhD student in the lab of Professor Dharani K. Hapangama and Dr Bettina Wilm at University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK, modelling peritoneal endometriosis using patient-derived cells to study early peritoneal endometriosis formation.
