Becky is interested in one specific protein, which is called SRSF2.

This protein is known to play a role in regulating transcription, however, the precise mechanism remains unknown. Becky uses various tools to delete SRSF2 to better determine its role and diverse functions. Interestingly, a faulty version is commonly found in leukaemia although once again how this contributes to disease progression is not well understood. Becky hopes her findings contribute to a greater understanding of the basic mechanisms essential for healthy life.
