SILVA-FISHER LAB
AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
What We Study
Our lab explores how RNA, the molecule that helps turn DNA into proteins, plays a role in how diseases like cancer grow and spread.
Our Mission
We aim to better understand how RNA works in cancer, especially in cases where the disease becomes more aggressive, so we can find new ways to treat it. We do this in a welcoming, supportive environment that encourages curiosity and collaboration.
How We Do It
We study cancer cells and samples from patients to find special RNA molecules and changes to them that might be driving cancer. Once we find these, we run experiments in the lab to figure out what these RNAs are doing. Our ultimate goal is to learn how RNA changes impact cancer biology and use that knowledge to guide future discoveries.
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.
