SILVA-FISHER LAB
AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Our research focuses on uncovering the role of RNA in cells and how it contributes to the development of diseases.​
Our mission is to explore and answer key questions in RNA biology, focusing on how it drives cancer metastasis, through innovative research in a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment.
​
How do we do this?
Our team of RNA biology, cancer, and bioinformatics experts focuses on identifying RNA molecules and their modifications using model systems, including cancer cells, patient cancer samples, and available patient data. We next go into the laboratory to figure out what they are doing in the cell. Finally, we use novel RNA therapeutics to target the RNAs.
LOVE OUR RESEARCH-MAKE A GIFTÂ TO OUR LAB!
Our goal is to find a cure for cancer and we need funding support for staff, students, and supplies, to do this.
