Webba da Silva Lab

Nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, are fundamental building blocks of life. They exhibit significant chemical functions such as information storage and energy transfer. The main focus of research in this laboratory is the design and synthesis of new molecular and material entities utilizing nucleic acids. By applying novel chemical principles at the molecular level, exciting new molecules and molecular assemblies are created which possess unique biological, mechanical, sensory, electronic, and optical properties.
