This book provides a broad, integrative overview of systems biology, giving particular attention to functional modeling, analysis, and experimental testing of protein circuits. It begins at the fundamental building blocks of a cell, introducing the underpinnings from thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, and then addresses biochemical networks. The author focuses on giving students the practical toolkit necessary for work in this field, from model estimation to predictive modeling and beyond. Among the key topics discussed in depth are gene transcription, signal transduction, metabolism, synthetic biology, and systems physiology.

Ashok Prasad is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. Prior to joining CSU in 2009, he was a postdoc at Arup Chakraborty’s computational immunology lab at MIT. He did my Ph.D. in soft matter physics, applied to biologically inspired problems, with Jane’ Kondev at Brandeis University. Prior to coming to Brandeis, he taught economics in an undergraduate college in the University of Delhi for about 12 years. He has extensive experience teaching students at very different levels, and his rather diverse academic training has given him an appreciation for interdisciplinarity.
