Synopsis

This book defines the field of systems biology, one of the newest and fastest developing fields in science today. It discusses the most effective experimental and computational strategies and highlights new and emerging applications. Cell biologists and other readers will discover many benefits for industry, such as the new network-based drug-target design validation. The authors also thoroughly explore testing.

About this title

From the Back Cover

For life to be understood and disease to become manageable, the wealth of postgenomic data now needs to be made dynamic. This development requires systems biology, integrating computational models for cells and organisms in health and disease; quantitative experiments (high-throughput, genome-wide, living cell, in silico); and new concepts and principles concerning interactions. This book defines the new field of systems biology and discusses the most efficient experimental and computational strategies. The benefits for industry, such as the new network-based drug-target design validation, and testing, are also presented.
