Written for intermediate-level undergraduates pursuing any science or engineering major, Physical Models of Living Systems helps students develop many of the competencies that form the basis of the new MCAT2015. The only prerequisite is first-year physics. With the more advanced "Track-2" sections at the end of each chapter, the book can be used in graduate-level courses as well.
All of these basic skills, which are relevant to nearly any field of science or engineering, are presented in the context of case studies from living systems, including:
- Virus dynamics
- Bacterial genetics and evolution of drug resistance
- Statistical inference
- Superresolution microscopy
- Synthetic biology
- Naturally evolved cellular circuits, including homeostasis, genetic switches, and the mitotic clock
