1. 1.Initiate a series of biophysics experiments to characterize the fallopian tube mechanical and fluidic properties.  Critical data for next generation actuator design.
   

2. 2.Pursue a magnetic sensing feasibility study to complement the actuation feasibility study.  Can the location of a magnetic probe in 3-D be detected in a practical manner using remotely located sensors, with sufficient resolution to be useful for navigation?  Investigate fusion of magnetic sensing with other imaging techniques (ultrasound).
   

3. 3.Identify and pursue alternative applications that can serve as ‘low hanging fruit’ entry points for the technology, in settings less demanding than fallopian tube profiling.  Create an early success.  Consider applications in GI tract and/or lung cancer screening/treatment. 
   

4. 4.Establish an interdisciplinary team to advance the probe technology itself - methods of obtaining samples, of sensing/limiting force, sensing presence of diseased tissue.
