How do cancer cells become aggressive?

Join the fight against cancer in this molecular and biomedical science honours project that explores the function of alternative splice variants in cancer cell plasticity.

Using CRISPR gene editing, this project will uncover the function of alternatively spliced variants that are strongly induced in invasive cancer cells but whose function has not yet been investigated.
