Quantitative Biology - From Molecular to Cellular Systems

Providing an overview of quantitative biology, this book presents practical tools for the observation, modeling, design, and manipulation of biological systems from the molecular to cellular levels. The book offers an introduction to fundamental concepts and computational, mathematical, and experimental studies of molecular and cellular behavior. The first section of the text covers basic, integrative concepts that form the foundation of the field. The next section reviews state-of-the-art methods in quantitative biology and case studies of specific systems. The last section focuses on important biological systems where modern quantitative methods are making an impact.
