Towards Integrated Nano-Associative Informatics Solutions

The human body is an extremely intelligent and complex adaptive system with a length scale on the order of a meter. The DNA/RNA and proteins molecules, which drive its natural processes possess dimensions on the nanometer range. The rapid development of nanotechnology has driven the production of molecular-scale devices towards the functionalizing of materials, directly manipulating of genetic molecules and engineering strains of proteins to possess novel functionalities. These basic processes that occur at the molecular level have opened up a world where leads us towards a compelling approach by fusing biotechnology, nanotechnology, and information science. This approach will enrich the development of revolutionary application-specific technologies.
