Computational Biomechanics and Systems Biology: From Models to Mechanisms - by Karyn Alexander (Hardcover)

About the Book

Computational biomechanics and systems biology merge physics, biology, and computer science to model and understand biological systems at various scales. Biomechanics applies principles of mechanics to study how biological structures such as bones, muscles, and tissues respond to forces and motions. Computational tools simulate these processes, aiding in the design of prosthetics, understanding injury mechanisms, and optimizing treatments. Systems biology takes a holistic approach, viewing organisms as complex systems of interconnected components. It uses computational models to analyze biological data and predict system behavior, integrating molecular biology, genetics, and physiology. Together, these fields offer insights into fundamental biological processes, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic strategies. Computational approaches allow researchers to explore intricate biological phenomena with unprecedented detail, paving the way for personalized medicine and innovative biomedical technologies. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of computational biomechanics, systems biology and related fields. The various advancements in these disciplines are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. This book is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on computational biomechanics and systems biology.
