Diagnosis and Future Implications

Future Work & Design

There is vast, untapped potential for mammalian synthetic biology in medicine;
our project is only one example of that. Having characterized a toolkit of mammalian parts
that could be applied to a diagnostic circuit for endometriosis, we designed a full circuit
and tested its logic step-by-step in both hormone phases and disease vs. healthy state. We've
also considered an ideal clinical situation, what we consider a possibility after more thorough
testing of our work, and a broader view on the applications of mammalian synbio in medicine.

 <p style="font-family: Verdana; float:left;"> Endometriosis is a complex disease – any diagnostic needs to account for a variety of factors. We opted for a three-pronged approach, sensing progesterone resistance and miRNA dysfunction while maintaining temporal specificity. Each of these components represents a key hallmark of the disease, and when put together can create a sensitive diagnostic tool. </p>
