Jana Braunger

I am a third-year PhD student in the Velten group at Heidelberg University, developing probabilistic models to study the functional consequences of genetic perturbations in single-cell CRISPR screens. Before starting my PhD, I studied Molecular Biotechnology at Heidelberg University (BSc) and Biomathematics at the University of Greifswald (MSc). During my master’s thesis with Prof. Caroline Uhler at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Boston, I worked on computational approaches linking transcriptional changes to chromatin reorganization during aging.
