Experiments
To tackle the size of this project, we organized our team into three sub-groups,
each addressing a synthetic biological tool that could assist in the diagnosing of
endometriosis. Then we combined our efforts into a proof of concept.
We also worked with other teams in the spirit of iGEM collaboration to test our
projects in new environments.
-
Synthetic mammalian promoters designed with repeating protein binding sequences
demonstrated significant increase in activity when induced with estrogen or progesterone in multiple cell lines.
-
Observed change in microRNA activity in an endometrial cell line under different conditions
and characterized microRNA target site sensitivity.
-
Extra detail/intro here
-
Read about a summary of our results and how our sensors interact logically after transfection of
4 to 5-unit genetic circuits into model cell cultures
-
Read about how we worked with other iGEM teams throughout our project
