Rethinking how we treat endometriosis | Linda Griffith | TEDxMIT

About 10% of women have endometriosis, yet molecular subtypes and non-hormonal therapies have yet to be defined, leaving tens of millions of women around the world suffering. At MIT, scientists in Biological Engineering are working with surgeons around the world to define molecular subtypes related to immune and invasion networks using a combination of experimental and machine learning approaches. Patients are then reconstructed from tissue biopsies, to test the mechanistic hypotheses about new non-hormonal therapies. BIOLOGICAL ENGINEER, MIT; DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR GYNEPATHOLOGY RESEARCH Linda Griffith is a biological engineer, and Professor of Biological Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at MIT, where she also directs the Center for Gynepathology Research. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
