Description
Computational tasks can be implemented using biochemical species, such as DNA, RNA, lipids, and proteins, that interact through specially designed reaction networks. This research area encompasses biocomputing, molecular computing, and computing with reaction networks. The long-term vision is seamless integration of living biological systems, nanorobotics, and computing, with immediate applications in autonomous nanocomputing, localized sensing and response, and pathogen detection.
This minisymposium focuses on realistic biological constraints and opportunities, as well as design principles that effectively leverage them. The field has been shaped by close collaboration between mathematical theory and bioengineering to develop efficient future technologies. The minisymposium brings together mathematicians and bioengineers to foster synergies and advance collaborative research at this interdisciplinary frontier.
