"Cells may be the world's most effective (and smallest) intelligent computers; unbeknownst to us how, they compute large volumes of information, i.e., sense their surroundings, interpret and transmit such information to its interior, decide how to act/react, and over time, learn and adapt and even change their environment. Successful decoding of these smallest units of natural intelligence is expected to reveal ways to enhance decision-making, performance, and learning/adaptation in the existing computing systems of artificial intelligence."

"Understanding the intricate communication networks within a cell—its architecture, signals, and behavior—is like decoding the blueprint of life itself. Each cell is not merely a passive unit but an intelligent, living system. While unraveling this cellular intelligence is no small feat, it is an endeavor worth pursuing, because if we succeed, the insights gained can move mountains. The mysteries we unlock will enable us to revolutionize medicine, driving breakthroughs in how we treat diseases at their most fundamental level."
