MultiMENDo at midpoint: a researcher’s reflections on progress and purpose

MultiMENDo at midpoint: a researcher’s reflections on progress and purpose The MultiMENDo project focuses on endometriosis, a gynaecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of childbearing age. This complex disease is notably associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility, leading to a reduced quality of life. There is a huge diagnostic delay and a lack of curative therapies. The project aims to find diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and investigate new therapeutic approaches using menstrual blood, a relevant and easily accessible yet overlooked biological fluid.
