Biomolecular computing is an interdisciplinary field that draws together molecular biology, physics, chemistry, computer science and mathematics. Our knowledge of biomolecular computing and the closely-associated field of DNA nanotechnology is increasing exponentially. This annual international meeting began in 1995, immediately after the landmark paper by L Adleman, in which an instance of the Hamiltonian path problem was solved using DNA molecules, opened the door to this new field. Since then, the meeting has been a forum at which scientists from diverse backgrounds, who share a common interest in biomolecular computing, meet and present their latest results.
