We replaced the letter “a” in ERαSE with the Greek letter "α" as we are using the concept of higher expression of the estrogen receptor α (ERα) in endometrial cells to ensure survival of these cells.
As our project goal is to create a treatment that induces apoptosis of the endometriosis cells and essentially remove them from the body, the word "ERASE" suited the concept very well.
