Systems Biology Modeling: Approach and Application

Studying the relationships and interactions between various parts of a biological system is key to developing explanatory or predictive models of entire systems. Systems Biology Modeling provides a broad survey of the modeling approaches and methods of systems biology, and how to apply them to drug discovery. The book provides molecular biologists, biomathematicians, cell biologists, computational chemists, biotechnologists, biochemists, microbiologists, organic chemists, pharmaceutical chemists, gene technologists, natural products chemists, and medicinal chemists with a clear understanding of how a systems-based perspective of disease supports critical decision-making in pharmaceutical research and clinical medicine
