Biosimulation

This practical guide to biosimulation provides the hands-on experience needed to devise design and analyze simulations of biophysical processes for applications in biological and biomedical sciences. Through real-world case studies and worked examples students will develop and apply basic operations through to advanced concepts covering a wide range of biophysical topics including chemical kinetics and thermodynamics transport phenomena and cellular electrophysiology. Each chapter is built around case studies in a given application area with simulations of real biological systems developed to analyze and interpret data. Open-ended project-based exercises are provided at the end of each chapter and with all data and computer codes available online (www.cambridge.org/biosim) students can quickly and easily run manipulate explore and expand on the examples inside. This hands-on guide is ideal for use on senior undergraduate/graduate courses and also as a self-study guide for anyone who needs to develop computational models of biological systems.
