Biomolecular Immune-Computer: Theoretical Basis and Experimental Simulator

We propose to develop a theoretical basis and experimental simulator of the first Immune-Computer (IC) as a new kind of biomolecular computer. This IC will be able to control a fragment of the natural immune system in an autonomous and intelligent manner. Such control has proved unobtainable with other methods.
