Sofia Battaglia is a postdoctoral researcher in Brad Bernstein's group at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) and the Broad Institute. Her work focuses on developing and applying novel technologies for understanding long range interactions of regulatory elements of human complex loci, by leveraging ultralong-read epigenomic profiling on single DNA molecules. Prior to joining the Bernstein lab, Sofia did her PhD in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Patrick Cramer at the Max-Planck-Institute (MPI) for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen and Munich University, studying the role of nascent mRNA in the recruitment of elongation factors to the transcription machinery.
