Review
"Bridges the gap between chemical engineering and cell biology by lucidly and practically demonstrating
how a mathematical modelling approach combines with quantitative experiments can provide enhanced understanding
of cell phenomena involving receptor/ligand interactions. This much-needed book introduces chemical engineers and
bioengineers to important problems in receptor biology and familiarizes cell biologists with the insights that
can be gained from engineering analysis and synthesis. . . . conceptually rich, timely, and useful."
