Hi Rupendra,

    i understand what do you mean, and i think
this is a great choice.  it seems to me this area will
explode in coming few years, and the key areas would be
direct interface cell/silicon chip, direct diagnostics
of cell state, electronic control of expression, and similar exciting projects.
This would require an innovative design approach for silicon including engines
for electronic handling cells, etc.
    i don't think things like biological computing and
storage elements are of any serious interest - at least, as we know it now.
    some background in electronic engineering, chemical physics would be a great
complement to yours.

my best,

> Hi all,
>
> I am to complete my bachelors in computer science this year. After this I want
to go into a feild relater to biology and computers ( in terms of making
bio-electronic interfaces, using/making biological components for enhanced
computing e.g. making biological storage devices etc. ) I will be going for a
masters soon. Moreover I also have a biology background since I had medicine
during schooling.

> Previously I had bioinformatics in mind and hence I came apon
bioinformatics.org and joined. After that I think ( if I am wrong please correct
me since I have no detailed knowledge about this feild ) that bioinformatics is
about using structures and mechanisms from the feild of biology to manage
information in computer based systems. And so I think this is not the feild I
want to go into. Please suggest me on what course should I join and where can I
find that course.
