Detailed Project Description
At its core, life is computation. Every cell is an intricate molecular processor, receiving inputs, modifying internal states, and producing outputs in a continuous, dynamic dialogue with its environment. But unlike silicon-based computers, biological computation does not rely on rigid logic gates or binary circuits. Instead, it is fluid, emergent, and deeply entangled with the materiality of molecules themselves. This project explores RNA not merely as an information carrier but as an active computational substrate—a material capable of self-assembly, transformation, and information processing. We aim to engineer RNA-based supramolecular machines, molecular constructs that interact via oligonucleotide exchange, forming programmable networks that process inputs, compute transitions, and reconfigure in response to molecular signals.
Start date: September 2025
