Silva-Fisher lab

Our Mission
Our lab is dedicated to understanding how a special type of RNA, called long non-coding RNA, helps control how cancer cells grow and respond to treatment. We study how these RNAs interact with proteins and affect important cell processes, like the cell cycle. By combining lab experiments with big-picture genetic data, we aim to discover new ways to detect, monitor, and treat cancer more effectively.
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 gift 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.
Make a gift below to Silva-Fisher lab by clicking * I want to support "School of Medicine" then amount "$" followed by "Other" and type in Dr. Jessica Silva-Fisher lab. Finally, fill in personal information.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love of RNA!
