报告摘要:
Nature’s blueprints have inspired exciting new fields of science such as bio-inspired computing and communication, creating problem-solving and information transmission techniques using insights from natural systems. For example, the classical genetic algorithm is inspired by the process of natural selection, which solves complex optimization and search problems by relying on bio-inspired operators such as mutation, crossover and selection. Furthermore, the emerging molecular communication technology mimics existing communication mechanisms among microorganisms and utilizes biological molecules both as carriers and as information. On the other hand, we can ‘look the other way’ by exploiting computing and communication strategies for biomedicine. Computing-inspired biosensing represents detection of the analyte of interest as a solution-searching process, which can be viewed as a form of natural computing that is reliant on externally controllable and trackable agents (nanomachines) to find the best solution (target analyte); this allows for the application of classical computational techniques in the quest to design optimal cancer detection procedures. Furthermore, communication-inspired biotransport represents loading, 他transport and unloading of biomolecules as a message sending, propagation, and receiving process; this allows for the utilization of classical communication models, techniques, and protocols to design optimally targeted drug delivery. In this talk, I will review the latest advancement in the exciting field of computing- and communication-inspired biomedicine.
