Our Biomarker Research
In this project, scholars dive into the field of biomarkers, which are crucial for understanding the relationship between genes and disease. By exploring medical literature, they focus on a specific biomarker, investigating its role in both healthy and diseased states. They also examine how the biomarker is used in diagnosing, treating, and managing patient care. Through research, teamwork, and effective communication, scholars not only gain a deeper understanding of genomics but also develop vital skills in analysis and presentation. This hands-on experience offers an exciting introduction to the field, combining scientific inquiry with practical learning.

This project explores the role of chronic inflammation in adverse reproductive outcomes among women, focusing on the biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP). It highlights how conditions like Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) and chronic inflammation can impact fertility and pregnancy, including complications in IVF. The study proposes that CRP levels may help detect and mitigate these outcomes by identifying inflammation early and improving therapeutic strategies. Read more…
