New Biology for Engineers and Computer Scientists

The exciting new integration between biology, physics, and computational sciences brings out the need for a new type of engineer, one with a grasp of modern biology. New Biology for Engineers and Computer Scientists is designed as a textbook for engineering and computer science undergraduates and will also be of interest to bioinformatics or biomedical engineering graduate students with little background in biology. Physicists, engineers, and computer scientists interested in learning about biology and biotechnology will also find this book useful. New Biology for Engineers and Computer Scientists focuses on the essentials of new biology, namely, genes and proteins, cells as the basic units of life, cell division, and animal development. The book introduces cells as robust complex networks of genes and proteins and adopts a systems view to discuss communication of cells with other cells and with the external environment. In keeping with the "hands on" approach common in engineering classes, assignment sections in each chapter illustrate the link between biology and engineering.
