Welcome

Welcome to the Silverman Lab! We are researchers who are interested in developing, characterizing, and applying DNA as a catalyst. We use techniques and concepts from chemical biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and other disciplines to design our experiments and interpret our results. Please visit our Research and Publications pages for more information about our laboratory's activities.
