Biomedical Applications of Computer Modeling

by Arthur Christopoulos (Editor)

Overview

Up to the last decade or so, most general modeling approaches to the study of molecular components of biological responses have required significant amount of computer time, expertise, and resources, as well as highly specialized and often custom-written programs. With Biomedical Applications of Computer Modeling you don't have to be a computer sci

Editorial Reviews

Now that computers and modelling software have become as ubiquitous and cheap in the biomedical environment as, say, ashtrays were a few decades ago, experienced researchers decided it was time to update the literature on modelling to fit the new situation. With minimal mathematical jargon, they demonstrate how to use the common software packages to create models that provide insight into biological mechanisms, and how to design better experiments, describing a range of different approaches to computer modeling and supporting each with practical examples.
