DYNAMICAL MODELING IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
Lectures Presented at the EU Advanced Workshop
edited by Franco Bagnoli & Stefano Ruffo (Universitá di Firenze, Italy)
The power of modelization in physics and in engineering is not in doubt, while in the biotechnological field many theoretical studies stop at the description level. It is time for theoretical modelization to enter the field of biotechnology, and that needs people with both physical and biological knowledge.
This book introduces interested scientists with varied backgrounds to active research in different areas broadly related to what has come to be called "dynamical modeling in biology".
