# First person – Miguel Ramirez-Moreno

## TL;DR

Miguel Ramirez-Moreno discusses his research on using Drosophila wings to study Tau-related diseases and drug discovery.

## Contribution

Introduces a high-throughput Drosophila wing model for studying Tau-mediated diseases and drug screening.

## Key findings

- The Drosophila wing model is versatile for studying Tau-related disease mechanisms.
- The model supports high-throughput screening for drug discovery.

## 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. Miguel Ramirez-Moreno is first author on ‘
Drosophila wing is a high-throughput and versatile screening tool for Tau-mediated disease mechanisms and drug discovery’, published in DMM. Miguel is a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Professor Amritpal Mudher at University of Southampton, Southampton, UK, investigating how life works with the goal of improving everyone's health.
