[00:00:02.200]We're really interested in communication,
[00:00:04.540]and so right now we have communication on the macro scale,
[00:00:08.560]and we also have it on the micro scale.
[00:00:10.520]We're trying to take that a step further
[00:00:12.030]and get it on the nano scale using biological systems.
[00:00:16.010]In the wet communication project,
[00:00:18.390]we want to study the peculiarities
[00:00:20.770]of these communication systems that are based on
[00:00:24.041]information that is transported by molecules
[00:00:27.670]and processed by biochemical reactions.
[00:00:30.300]And the WetComm project is
[00:00:33.490]a software tool that's basically a framework
[00:00:36.210]to demonstrate how communication performs
[00:00:39.940]in biological chemical networks.
[00:00:43.130]So in this project, we try to actually create a framework
[00:00:47.080]for interfacing the biological world
[00:00:49.260]and the electronics world.
[00:00:50.757]And we believe that our research will be fundamental
[00:00:54.130]to define a novel computing platform
[00:00:56.600]that is not based on electrical circuits
[00:00:59.640]and integrated logic, but is based actually on biology.
[00:01:03.680]We can use it for drug delivery, or telemonitoring.
[00:01:07.220]I am excited to explore the communication
[00:01:11.190]or information flow in biological cells.
[00:01:13.820]So Dr. Pierobon is really helpful
[00:01:16.230]because any time I have questions, I can go to him.
[00:01:19.173]I continuously ask them, "Do you like the subject?
[00:01:21.753]" Are you excited?"
[00:01:23.290]Because I always tell them,
[00:01:24.577]"Okay, the moment you are not excited
[00:01:26.257]"with what you are working, we have to change subject."
[00:01:28.730]I like his energy.
[00:01:30.090]And he's enthusiastic about research,
[00:01:32.620]so I'm happy to work with him, actually.
[00:01:36.950]Max is really good to work with,
[00:01:38.700]so he's, like, super fun.
[00:01:40.390]And also, the enthusiasm he has,
[00:01:42.108]it's more like a childlike enthusiasm,
[00:01:44.810]so everything gets him super interested.
[00:01:47.070]Biology is inherently complex.
[00:01:50.170]And the complexity of biology doesn't allow us to just have
[00:01:53.860]a model-based approach and everything works,
[00:01:55.820]like electrical circuits.
[00:01:57.360]You have to be resilient.
[00:01:58.930]Never give up.
