As we live through the consolidation of a new paradigm where experimental data goes hand in hand with computational analysis, we contemplate the challenge of fusing these two aspects of the new biology into a consistent theoretical framework. Whether systems biology will survive as a field or be washed away by the tides of future fads will ultimately depend on its success to achieve this type of synthesis. The famous quote attributed to Kurt Lewin comes to mind: "there is nothing more practical than a good theory". This book presents a wide assortment of articles on systems biology in an attempt to capture the variety of current methods in systems biology and show how they can help to find answers to the challenges of modern biology.Biology, life sciencesbicsscBiochemical systems theorybiological networksBiotechnologycomputational modelingmathematical modelingSynthetic BiologySystems BiologySystems MedicineBiology, life sciencesJulio Veraauth1281235Alberto Marin-SanguinoauthRui AlvesauthBOOK9910345964803321Foundations of Theoretical Approaches in Systems Biology3018405UNINA
