Regular biography
Yadira Soto-Feliciano is a Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Biology. She is an Intramural Faculty member at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. Her research focuses on chromatin and epigenetic regulation in normal development and cancer. She employs functional genomics, biochemical, genetic, and epigenomic approaches to investigate how chromatin and epigenetic factors influence cellular and organismal integrity. Her work explores the dysregulation of these processes in diseases such as cancer.
Scholar-generated biography
Yadira Soto-Feliciano is a researcher at MIT specializing in Chromatin Biology, Epigenetics, and Cancer Biology. Her work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying chromatin structure and function, with a focus on how epigenetic regulation influences cancer progression and therapeutic responses. She investigates the role of chromatin modifiers in tumor suppression and the development of targeted therapies. Her research also extends to understanding the interplay between chromatin dynamics and metabolic reprogramming in cancer. By employing advanced genetic and biochemical tools, she aims to identify novel vulnerabilities in cancer cells and improve treatment strategies.
