The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to Trustees of Dartmouth College to support the development of an "Emerging Technology Tool for Rapid Drug-Cocktail Formulation." The project aims to create a technology platform that leverages the mathematical equivalence between biological and electronic circuits to enable rapid, high-throughput discovery of optimal drug cocktails for applications such as treating viral infections or cancers. The approach involves using specialized "cytomorphic" electronic chips to probabilistically simulate complex biological interactions and dynamics, with the goal of accelerating the identification of effective multi-drug therapies. The grant will also support educational initiatives, including a two-course sequence on biological circuit engineering, and provide research opportunities for underrepresented minority students at Dartmouth.
