Endometriosis is difficult to diagnose for several reasons. First, its symptoms vary widely among patients. This makes it hard for doctors to identify the disease based on symptoms alone. Second, imaging methods are not always reliable for confirming endometriosis because they cannot detect small tissue lesions. The only definitive diagnostic method is laparoscopy, a surgical procedure where a camera is inserted into the abdomen to visually confirm the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.

However, this approach is invasive, costly, and can take years for patients to access. My research aims are to investigate micro RNAs and angiogenesis mechanism in endometriosis. MicroRNAs are small molecules that regulate gene expression and could serve as biomarkers for non-invasive tests such as blood tests. This would eliminate the need for invasive procedure like laparoscopy. Studying angiogenesis could lead to breakthroughs in understanding how endometriosis develops.
