### Clinical Predictive Model
77
To improve endometriosis diagnostics, our team created a model to assess endometriosis risk from clinical variables by using machine learning on a dataset of 756 patients. The "Cleaning Predictive Model Data.R" script was used to transform the raw dataset into a form readable by the machine learning script "Endometriosis Predictive Model.R".

Our team developed lateral flow assays (LFA) to measure levels of endometriosis biomarkers in menstrual blood, thereby diagnosing endometriosis. The Sensitivity & Specificity and LFA Model were created in support of assay development.

### Sensitivity & Specificity

There are 12 biomarkers for endometriosis in peripheral blood and menstrual effluent reported in literature. Our modeling team used combined log odds ratios to find the best combination of three biomarkers that contribute the most to the diagnostic accuracy of our test panel.

### LFA Model

In designing our LFAs, we developed a model to find the optimal test line position and reagent concentrations, using the "Rochester_LFA_Model.m" script. We planned to parameter fit our experimental data to our model using the "Rochester_LFA_Model_DataFit.m" script.

To develop endometriosis diagnostics, our team designed an estrogen sensing circuit. We created an ODE model of the circuit to find the optimal promoter strength and plasmid copy number for this circuit.

### Biomarker Database

To support future iGEM teams in the Diagnostics Track, we created a software collecting biomarkers that have been used in iGEM. Users can contribute to the database or search for potential biomarkers of the disease they want to study.

We integrated our Clinical Predictive Model into a web UI where users can fill out an anonymous survey, and find out their risk of endometriosis from their answers.
