Systems Biology: Mathematical Modeling and Model Analysis

Systems biology is the mathematical and computational modeling of complex biological systems. It is an interdisciplinary field of study concerned with complex interactions within biological systems. One of the primary objectives of systems biology is to discover and model emergent properties and explore the properties of cells, tissues and organisms functioning as a system. The foundations of systems biology are control theory and cybernetics, quantitative modeling of enzyme kinetics, synergetics, simulations for the study of neurophysiology and the mathematical modeling of population dynamics. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core aspects of mathematical modeling and model analysis in the discipline of systems biology. For all readers who are interested in this field, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding. It aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area of study.
