We are a Biomedical Engineering Master’s student team from Université de Paris. As a part of the worldwide synthetic biology competition iGEM 2021, we are creating an easy-to-use cancer screening solution that could complement any routine laboratory analysis.
Early-stage cancer diagnosis can improve patient survival across a range of aggressive tumours. Yet, the patient is often referred to an oncologist after the disease has already progressed. Biofluid analysis, e.g. blood or urine, is a potential solution to this problem, as it is a simpler, non-invasive, and flexible alternative to tissue biopsy.
Our goal is to employ synthetic biology and build a simple and efficient microfluidic chip, which detects a panel of cancer-associated molecules in a few drops of a patient’s blood. Watch this space if you want to learn more!
