Infos

These two volumes contain a selection of updated articles from the acclaimed Meyers Encyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine, the most authoritative resource in cell and molecular biology, combined with new articles by "founding fathers" in the field.
The work is divided into six sections:
+ Biological Basis
+ Modeling
+ Modular Parts and Circuits
+ Synthetic Genomes
+ Diseases and Therapeutics
+ Chemicals Production.
Ideally suited as advanced reading for students and postdocs, and with all current research trends covered by an impressive number of leading figures in the field, this is the first choice reference for research institutions.
Dieses zweibändige Nachschlagewerk ist das erste maßgebliche Referenzwerk zu diesem aufstrebenden Fachgebiet, konzentriert sich auf die Forschung in der synthetischen Biologie und enthält Beiträge einer Reihe von "Gründungsvätern" der Fachrichtung.

Autor

Robert A. Meyers obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of California at Los Angeles. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the California Institute of Technology and has more than 17 patents, 50 technical papers and 12 books to his name. As Editor-in-Chief he conceived and edited several ambitious multivolume reference works, e.g. the Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry (Wiley), the Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology and Molecular Medicine (Wiley-VCH) and the Encyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology (Academic Press).
