Computational systems biology of cancer
About This Book
The future of cancer research and the development of new therapeutic strategies rely on our ability to convert biological and clinical questions into mathematical models--integrating our knowledge of tumour progression mechanisms with the tsunami of information brought by high-throughput technologies such as microarrays and next-generation sequencing. Offering promising insights on how to defeat cancer, the emerging field of systems biology captures the complexity of biological phenomena using mathematical and computational tools.
