Interesting thought. Problem with the the idea is that conducting suggestions that they are will be very hard on living tissues. Physics has been used in human anatomy for the longest time but to go down to the cellular level to conduct experiments is difficult. Conducted intracellular electrophysiology work on drosophila melanogaster in undrgrad and that was the biggest pain in the arse to do. The slightest mistake and you puncture through the cell, working with glass pipettes so fine that just a breathing on the end would cause it to snap. There will be serious challenges if research continues.
It definitely is an interesting concept, funding for research on it though will be hard to obtain. Unless its NIH grants they obtain which are hard to begin with as there has to be concrete foundation to the research project to be proposed to NIH, I dont see many companies investing until the research progresses where it has a pharmaceutical advantage. That is at least for this country, not sure how countries in Europe and Asia work for obtaining funding.
