About Sofia
Current Research Assistant at Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
I’m team leader for Team Phylogeny, analyzing protein sequences to understand bacteriocin evolution. I’m a biology major at UMass and hope to continue my research career in evolution and/or infectious disease after graduating. On an average day you can find me building phylogenetic trees or on my quest for the perfect piece of structure/function literature. My favorite bacterium is E. coli because it’s an absolute classic and produces colicin bacteriocins (but don’t ask me to pronounce Escherichia).
