AV¶ÌÊÓƵ

Sofia Barbieri graduated in Bio-Medical Physics in 2015 at the AV¶ÌÊÓƵ of Pavia, Italy.

She approached the field of radiation biology during her Master and she continued in that direction during her doctoral studies. She achieved her PhD in Physics in 2018, with a thesis entitled: “DNA damage by charged and neutral radiation at different spatial and temporal scales: integrating Monte Carlo simulations with in vitro experiments”, carried out in collaboration with the Columbia AV¶ÌÊÓƵ Medical Center, New York (USA).

In 2019 she joined the Laboratory of Asymmetric Cell Division led by Prof. Monica Gotta (PHYM Department, UNIGE, Geneva).

Her main field of research is now the investigation of the complex dynamics of cell polarity markers in the C. elegans 1-cell embryo and the process of cytoplasmic protein gradient formation.

Her interests are at the interface between physics and biology, especially on the modelling of complex biological phenomena using computational and Monte Carlo tools.
