Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine by Thomas Deisboeck (English) Hardcover B

Description: Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine by Thomas Deisboeck, J. Yasha Kresh Covers the field of systems science involving the application of physics, mathematics, engineering and computational methods and techniques to the study of biomedicine including nonlinear dynamics at the molecular, cellular, multi-cellular tissue, and organismic level. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Complex Systems Science in BiomedicineThomas S. Deisboeck and J. Yasha Kresh Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine covers the emerging field of systems science involving the application of physics, mathematics, engineering and computational methods and techniques to the study of biomedicine including nonlinear dynamics at the molecular, cellular, multi-cellular tissue, and organismic level. With all chapters helmed by leading scientists in the field, Complex Systems Science in Biomedicines goal is to offer its audience a timely compendium of the ongoing research directed to the understanding of biological processes as whole systems instead of as isolated component parts. In Parts I & II, Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine provides a general systems thinking perspective and presents some of the fundamental theoretical underpinnings of this rapidly emerging field. Part III then follows with a multi-scaled approach, spanning from the molecular to macroscopic level, exemplified by studying such diverse areas as molecular networks and developmental processes, the immune and nervous systems, the heart, cancer and multi-organ failure.The volume concludes with Part IV that addresses methods and techniques driven in design and development by this new understanding of biomedical science.Key Topics Include: / Historic Perspectives of General Systems Thinking / Fundamental Methods and Techniques for Studying Complex Dynamical Systems / Applications from Molecular Networks to Disease Processes/ Enabling Technologies for Exploration of Systems in the Life Sciences Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine is essential reading for experimental, theoretical, and interdisciplinary scientists working in the biomedical research field interested in a comprehensive overview of this rapidly emerging field.
