The Basic Research Committee
The Fundamental Research Committee was responsible for designing the proposed construct at the theoretical level. Working with the Applied Research Committee, the Fundamental Research Committee helped implement the actual biological system. The Team conducted extensive literature reviews, contacted professionals working in the field, and presented findings to the team on a regular basis. The Committee researched volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that would be present in the exhaled breaths of people with lung cancer. We also researched genes that would indicate the presence of these VOCs. This year we focused on detecting ethanol, formaldehyde, and xylene. The associated genes are aldB, frmR, and XylR, respectively.
