Monash SynBio Tech, Monash’s first team to compete in the AusSynBio Challenge, is comprised of undergraduate students passionate about synthetic biology/biological engineering and gaining real-life research experience. Our project focuses on multiplexing miRNAs for early detection of melanoma skin cancer using CRISPR-Cas13 and fluorescent probes to quantify the concentration of miRNAs associated with melanoma. Eventually, we hope to use these results to develop a point-of-care test.
