Revisiting origin of endometriosis

Description 
Endometriosis is a debilitating disease that impacts the overall life of individuals. Efforts so far to identify the cause of the disease have not been conclusive. Recent research have identified association of endometriosis and dysbiosis. This project will utilise the endometrial cells- genomic sequences to identify the link between microbes and endometriosis.
