The work of the Basic Research Committee formed the backbone of the research of the project. We researched potential VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, that would be present in the exhaled breaths of people with lung cancer. We also researched genes that would be indicators of the presence of these VOCs. As of now, we are using the VOCs ethanol, formaldehyde, and xylene. The associated genes are aldB, frmR, and XylR, respectively. Team Members: Ali Ahmed, Raymond Guo (Director), Rohin Maganti (Director), Rohan Pinto (Director).

The work of the Applied Research Committee has worked to turn the ideas of the Fundamental Research Committee into reality. We worked to perfect the 3A Assembly and later used this experience to use in the incorporation of our basic ideas into a practical lung cancer VOC detection device. We also worked with the Fundamental Research Committee to research genes that would be indicators of the presence of these VOCs. This committee has been very multifaceted, with the members taking up various aspects of our project and working to accomplish them. Team Members: Rohin Maganti, Eric Li, Gopal Raman, Mitchell So, Abhi Thummala, Kevin Wu (Director), Akshay Malhotra (Director)
