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.
