A lot of people have asked what I mean by data acquisition in real-time. This is just one example. The living world is microscopic; we need to probe it using microscopy and microspectroscopy. What we do instead is dump drugs on a petri dish, then wait 24 hours, and then sequence cells, killing them in the process. In real human bodies, cells are dosed across time. You ingest a Tylenol. It makes it into the circuits of your human body - fluidic circuits - and blood circulates across the body once every eight minutes. So how do we ever capture that with sequencing and robots? We need to make vessels before we can take cells from a human being, have them manufactured, fabricated. The cells must be in the temperature they like inside the body. You cannot make them more uncomfortable than they want to be. You cannot stain them and expect to see what they feel like. You need to keep them alive, and probe them with lasers. They should not even have to KNOW they're being sensed. The sensing should be so silent that it is biocompatible. And believe it or not, this is extremely possible. Bioprinting, nanofabrication, photolithography, and, of course, laser biophotonics has made it possible. So we form two things: 1. Vessels 2. Sensors And we acquire from it: => As much data as possible. About how a drug changes a cell. In our systems, we are able to use photons instead of reagents to probe label-free. We can tell what goes it, what goes out, what the cells feel like, and how they change.
