The VOC biosensor for lung cancer will be implemented to detect lung cancer in its early stages through noninvasive means in an effective and low-cost manner. When the VOC comes in contact with the bacterial plate, it will cause the transcription of the gene and the translation of the protein that will cause the bacteria to glow. In contrast to current lung cancer detection mechanisms, this biosensor will be able to "smell" the cancer and indicate its presence in a way that is both more effective and less expensive than current techniques.
