Snifferomyces - Is it the Solution?

This is a very complicated question, to approach this question, first was determined which solutions we will perform study.

• Tuberculosis Detection
• Detection of explosives

The tuberculosis detection was our main case study and a lot of wetlab work on this possible methyl nicotinate receptor has been done. The detection of explosives is a application we thought of inspired by the K-9's detecting explosives.

Is Snifferomyces the solution for tuberculosis detection?

This question is approached on two different ways. A interview with Dr. Rene Lutter and a literature study. For the literature study we subdivided this question into several smaller, more defined questions.

• What is tuberculosis?
• What are the present diagnostic tools?
• Why would a diagnostic tool based on our principle contribute?
• How does the problem area look like now?
