Did you partake in any sort of project as part of the BioBuilder, you know, curriculum or program where you're like, "Hey, this is, this is a problem we've come up with, and we're gonna use synthetic biology to solve it"?
6:51
Yes, we did.
6:52
So I worked with two other, um, like two of my other teammates who were also in the program with me, and we actually made a project.
7:02
We had a whole poster that we presented at the end, and our project was called Reject Rejections, and it was basically focused on, like, fixing bone marrow transplant rejections.
7:15
So with bone marrow transplants, uh, they're pretty common, and they are commonly, they commonly fail because the donor who donates the bone marrow, like, their cells aren't compatible with the patient.
7:29
And so at the time, we had learned that only about, like, 30% of patients who needed a bone marrow transplant had a matching donor, like, within their family.
7:37
So obviously, this is, like, a big problem.
