Deciphering the molecular mechanism of the SRSF3 OncomiR-1 Complex in Colorectal Cancer

Description 
This project will investigate the role and mechanism of the micro-RNA processing complex (SRSF3 OncomiR-1) in colorectal cancer. Experiemntal approaches will include biochemical, biophysical and structural biology methods to understand how SRSF3 interacts with Drosha and DGCR8 to process the OncomiR-1 RNA substrate. The outcome of this project will provide insights into how SRSF3-OncomiR1 complex contribute to the progression of colorectal cancer.
