Description and Objectives of the Project: RSPO2 expression and hypermethylation status as a biomarker of
CRC pathogenesis has not been explored in the Indian population. Correlation and association studies to be
performed in this context to evaluate its diagnostic and or prognostic potential in CRCs. Functional role of
RSPO2 in non canonical Wnt pathway and other signaling pathways implicated in metastatic CRC is still
unexplored. Regulation of expression of RSPOs (including RSPO2) is still obscure. Therapeutic potential of
RSPO2 in the context of metastatic CRC is largely unknown.
The position is purely temporary and will be governed by the funding agency rules & service conditions of the
Office of the Dean (Research & Consultancy), MNNIT Allahabad.
