PERSONAL DETAILS
“One of the clear messages of the book is that at least some aspects of Biology can be made quantitative. In this sense, I like the idea to present systematically orders of magnitude and the fact that the authors show explicitly experimental results that can be compared quantitatively to the theoretical models presented. This is the classical approach of physicists but many of my biology colleagues do not work this way. In this sense, I think that this book could play a very important role. The book is also well structured with a rigorous outline, a short overview at the beginning of each chapter and a summary of the main points at the end of each chapter.” —Jean-François Joanny, Institut Curie “I enjoyed reading [Physical Biology of the Cell] tremendously and greatly benefited from it. I loved playing with the simple but very useful estimates spread throughout this book and, most importantly, it made me more optimistic about the role of physics in biology.” —Yitzak Rabin, Bar-Ilan University

hysical Biology of the Cell is a biophysics textbook that explores how the basic tools and insights of physics and mathematics can illuminate the study of molecular and cell biology. Drawing on key examples and seminal experiments from cell biology, the book demonstrates how quantitative models can help refine our understanding of existing biological data and also be used to make useful predictions. The book blends traditional models in cell biology with the quantitative approach typical in physics, in order to introduce the reader to both the possibilities and boundaries of the emerging field of physical biology. While teaching physical model building in cell biology through a practical, case-study approach, the text explores how quantitative modeling can be used to build a more profound, intuitive understanding of cell biology.

A practical introduction to physical model building in cell biology: for both students and scientists in physics, biology, or biochemistry! Explores how and why quantitative models can enrich and refine an intuitive understanding of experimental approaches in cell biology. Over 550 illustrations and micrographs merge the visual style of traditional molecular and cellular biology texts with the quantitative approaches of physics. Special sections are integrated throughout the chapters to help build an intuitive understanding of the mathematics and experiments: (1) Estimates; (2) Experiments Behind the Facts; (3) Math Behind the Models; (4) Tricks Behind the Math. The end-of-chapter questions challenge the reader to extend the knowledge gained in the chapter to new data or additional situations. A comprehensive solutions manual will be available for instructors.
