We are sharing reagents, chemicals, and constructs developed in our lab with researchers all over the world. If you would like to request materials for your research, please send us an email. Most materials require a simple Materials Transfer Agreement (MTA) between your institution and the University of Pittsburgh. Please take a look at the list below which includes structures, brief descriptions, and selected references.

materials for optochemical control of oligonucleotide function
