Full Description
This volume focuses on the computational modeling of cell signaling networks and the application of these models and model-based analysis to systems and personalized medicine. Chapters guide readers through various modeling approaches for signaling networks, new methods and techniques that facilitate model development and analysis, and new applications of signaling network modeling towards systems and personalized treatment of cancer. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and methods, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Computational Modeling of Signaling Networks aims to benefit a wide spectrum of readers including researchers from the biological as well as computational systems biology communities.
