For studies at the molecular level, Ismagilov will develop microfluidic systems capable of rapidly
generating, manipulating and assaying protein aggregates of
various sizes,
shapes and compositions.
Specific topics include the abilities to recognize, sort and transport important molecules; sense the environment; alter
shape or surface texture;
generate onboard energy to power effective robotic functions; communicate with doctors, patients, and other nanorobots; navigate throughout the human body; manipulate microscopic objects and move about inside a human body; and timekeep, perform computations, disable living cells and viruses, and operate at
various pressures and temperatures.
An exploration of the
various ways in which sensibility is
shaped, which is
generated, expressed and understood in artistic practices and divergent modes of thought and reflection as arising from and in works of art, while recognizing the multiple connections that can be established between art, philosophy and politics.
