After graduation, Silvi worked as a research technician at University of California San Francisco (UCSF), using cutting-edge technology to detect and track viral infections. She stayed at UCSF for her PhD in the lab of Jonathan Weissman, where she developed new approaches to study RNA folding in physiological conditions and on a genome-wide scale.
