Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine Thomas 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 Biomedicine's 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. About the Editors: Thomas S. Deisboeck is currently
Assistant Professor of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital
and Harvard Medical School in Boston. An expert in
interdisciplinary cancer modeling, Dr. Deisboeck is Director of the
Complex Biosystems Modeling Laboratory which is part of the
Harvard-MIT Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. J. Yasha Kresh
is currently Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Research
Director, Professor of Medicine and Director of Cardiovascular
Biophysics at the Drexel University College of Medicine. An expert
in dynamical systems, he holds appointments in the School of
Biomedical Engineering and Health Systems, Dept. of Mechanical
Engineering and Molecular Pathobiology Program. Prof. Kresh is
Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, American Heart
Association, Biomedical Engineering Society, American Institute for
Medical and Biological Engineering.
