What would be cool to have?
What if we could shrink a peptide synthesis machine onto an implantable nanochip and wirelessly send it instructions to generate any sequence of peptides we wanted? If a pathogen mutates, maybe you could find something immunogenic on its surface, send the peptide sequence after figuring out what it is to the nanochip and have it synthesize the peptide which would hopefully be attacked by the immune system and help boost innate immunity. It would be like a virus software update for humans!
