Looking back, astronomy gave scope for the growth of computational science. And computational science has opened out the applications of deep learning. That’s one side of the story. On the other side, biology has benefitted from computational science. “Complex biology operations are possible using computational science as the base. Pursuing this, biological computing is expected to emerge from this,” said Professor Vijay Chandru, Centre for Bio-Systems Science and Engineering, the Indian Institute of Science, speaking at the Digital Technologies and Precision Health Webinar organised by Carnegie India in partnership with Plaksha University (Mohali).

The next stage can happen when scientists-researchers work out strategies to engineer biology. Data encoding in biology can become a reality and can be described as a move towards scientific progress. It would be nice if some sort of diagnostic services can emerge from solutions based on computational science...
