Project:"AUTODOSE"
Autophagy is a vital cellular process, in which dysfunctional components of the cell are removed and the building blocks recycled for reuse. Defects in the functioning of this system have been shown to have important links with various diseases, including cancer and neurodegeneration. The project will shed light on autophagy pathways using Raman Spectroscopy and fluorescence techniques from fat body tissue of Drosophila larvae.
The team expertise for this Medical Challenge is in Biology, Biophysics, Maths, Statistics, and Electrical Engineering
