Abstract

Abstract : Imagine a world where machines can program cells to deliver therapeutics in a remote-controlled, time-specific, and targeted manner. Or, what if physicians could collect data continuously to establish intimate links between therapy and disease progression? Such machine biology systems could empower physicians beyond imagination and give rise to personalized treatments.
