Neal S. Silverman, PhD is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious
Diseases. He is also affiliated with the Department of Microbiology and Physiological
Systems, the Immunology and Virology Program, and the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program.
His expertise and research interests include innate immune recognition, signal
transduction, and gene expression, especially in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.
