I used to think this way, but after about 30 years in the field (including ML, MD, sequence alignment, homology modelling, drug discovery, and more) I've concluded grandiose visions like this have little to no chance of actually making any sort of impactful difference, either academically or industrially.

Don't get me wrong- I think many of the analogies are accurate, but thinking about it that way doesn't help you design an experiment that answers any clear question. If you want to pursue the idea of building better tools for interrogating life, have at it- make sure you read all the stuff George Church has published about DNA recorders and similar systems.

I don't know why you would want to focus on Raman spectroscopy. That's a useful analytic tool, but it's certainly not going to move the needle on any interesting biological processes. You would have a lot more luck using optical microscopy- it's one of the most mature and powerful readouts, highly flexible, and can be used with sequencing.

I can't really see a case for funding here. You need a well-defined, biomedically based argument and a technology that people think will actually work. You will get 3-5 years of runway and then have to meet some important milestone.

Optical microscopy is even interacting and destroying cell in infrared or don't see small molecules on ~400nm UV because of diffraction.

Raman combination scattering, allows to find moleculas and not interract with them.

Its keystone for make possibility 'to see' live cell with molecules in dynamic, without disrupting it. And make full virtual 3D of live human cell.

-- If technology will be created = problem solved. Investing here i mean, into actions to investigation into current and future possible technology, and to construct it.

Its not about sell something to others, its about make humanity to fight diseases, cancer, aging. And about that you can be part of it. Proudly called youself Investor who help bring humanity to new era.
