This book develops the theory of continuous and discrete stochastic
processes within the context of cell biology. A wide range of
biological topics are covered including normal and anomalous
diffusion in complex cellular environments, stochastic ion channels
and excitable systems, stochastic calcium signaling, molecular
motors, intracellular transport, signal transduction, bacterial
chemotaxis, robustness in gene networks, genetic switches and
oscillators, cell polarization, polymerization, cellular length
control, and branching processes. The book also provides a
pedagogical introduction to the theory of stochastic process -
Fokker Planck equations, stochastic differential equations, master
equations and jump Markov processes, diffusion approximations and
the system size expansion, first passage time problems, stochastic
hybrid systems, reaction-diffusion equations, exclusion processes,
WKB methods, martingales and branching processes, stochastic
calculus, and numerical methods. This text is primarily aimed at
graduate students and researchers working in mathematical biology
and applied mathematicians interested in stochastic modeling.
Applied probabilists and theoretical physicists should also find it
of interest. It assumes no prior background in statistical physics
and introduces concepts in stochastic processes via motivating
biological applications. The book is highly illustrated and
contains a large number of examples and exercises that further
develop the models and ideas in the body of the text. It is based
on a course that the author has taught at the University of Utah
for many years.
