BIOMOLECULAR COMPUTERS

Molecular computing devices, compared to conventional computers, have the clear advantage of small size (enabling insertion into living cells), as well as the ability to interact directly with their biological surroundings due to their inherent biological nature, thus holding the promise for biomedical applications. The long-term vision of the project is to create nano-sized biological computers equipped with medical knowledge that will roam our bodies, search for and diagnose diseases, and autonomously treat them by administering a therapeutic biomolecule. These smart drugs (drugs active only under specific conditions) will enable greater specificity in comparison to traditional drugs.
