Modeling the Interface between Biological and SyntheticComponents in Hybrid Nanosystems

Abstract

The fusion of biology and nanotechnology holds amazing promise for revolutionizing medicine and personal technology. In order to take advantage of the great feats of engineering coming out of these fields, there needs to be theories and computational tools capable of describing the interface between the pristine and ordered world of precision electronics and the hot, wet, and stochastic world of biology. The success of these technologies will depend on our abilities to design and optimize interactions of biomolecules and solid-state
