Sofia Ferreira
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Biology
BioCancer Biology Scientist focused on improving treatment options on refractory tumors, primarily pancreatic cancer. My research focuses on uncovering innovative strategies to enhance the responsiveness of pancreatic cancer to existing treatments through fundamental research and preclinical approaches:
1.Investigate key molecular pathways in pancreatic cancer using in vivo, organelle-specific omics to identify new therapeutic targets
2.Identify unique drivers and tumor-stroma crosstalk across distinct pancreatic cancer subtypes
3.Exploit tumor cell innate immunity pathways to enhance pancreatic cancer responses to immunotherapy -

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are a functional genomics laboratory interested in elucidating mechanisms of DNA repair pathway choice and genome instability. We use genome-wide repair fate maps of targeted DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) to develop pathway-specific models and combinatorial therapies. Our expertise overlaps many different fields including: genome editing, ionizing radiation, cancer therapeutics, V(D)J and IgH class switch recombination, repair during transcription and replication, and meiosis.
