Autonomous Computing Artificial Cells
We propose an ambitious 5-year multidisciplinary program that seeks to pioneer and establish a fundamentally new paradigm in molecular information systems that is based on novel conceptual and experimental advances on the integration of DNA-based chemical reaction networks (CRNs) and semipermeable microcapsules, i.e. protocells. In AutonoMous computInG Artificial cells (AMIGA), we will establish a platform technology, based on molecular communication between interacting protocells, capable of revolutionary new modes of molecular sensing, computation and data storage/retrieval. Progress in this emerging field requires i) the development of computer-aided design (CAD) strategies to implement…
