SILVA-FISHER LAB
AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Our Research is focused on understanding how RNAs promote cancer. 

Our Mission is to ask and answer critical questions in identifying why and how cancer metastasizes by conducting innovative and advanced research in a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive research environment.

How do we do this?

Our team of experts in RNA, cancer, and bioinformatics begins with analyzing patient cancer samples or available patient data. We using various methods of sequencing technologies to find RNAs and modifications on RNA molecules. 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.
