Feedback Control in Systems Biology

This self-contained, easy-to-follow book demonstrates how feedback control concepts can be applied to systems biology. Each chapter introduces a field within control engineering and then provides several applications in cellular biology. Chapters focus on the essential ideas and concepts from control theory that have found applicability in the systems biology research literature, including basic linear introductory material as well as more advanced nonlinear techniques. The book illustrates key ideas and concepts with examples from cellular biology. It also includes research literature, illustrations, and references to enhance study.
