Beschreibung
Systems and Synthetic Immunology focuses on the similarity between biology and engineering at the systems level, which is important for applying engineering theories to biology problems. With the advent of new genomic techniques, there are numerous systematic investigations happening in the scientific world. This volume collates the techniques that bring about this powerful combination of the two most essential biological topics- Systems Biology and Synthetic Immunology. The different chapters discuss the role of synthetic immunology in biotechnology, food toxicology and production of biomaterials. Contributions in the book discuss the importance of cytokines and the use of genomic engineering tools in immunotherapy. In addition to the above mentioned, the work explores other significant topics such as immunosensors, nanotherapeutics and bioinformatics tools in biomedical applications. The book provides readers with an up-to-date and comprehensive review of this unique and dynamic field of research.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Shailza Singh is a scientist at the Bioinformatics and High Performance Computing Facility, NCCS, Pune, India. Her research chiefly focuses on the systems and synthetic biology of infectious diseases such as leishmaniasis. In this regard, her group is working to integrate the action of regulatory circuits, cross-talk between pathways, and non-linear kinetics of biochemical processes through mathematical modeling. Dr. Singh has been honored with the DBT RGYI, DST Young Scientist and INSA Bilateral Exchange Programme awards, and was selected by the DBT for a SAKURA EXCHANGE Programme in Science in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning to Tokyo in 2018. She serves as a reviewer for prestigious international grants such as the RCUK; for national grants from the DBT, DST and CSIR; and for several prominent international journals, e.g. Parasite and Vectors, PLOS One, BMC Infectious Disease, BMC Research Notes, Oncotarget, and the International Journal of Cancer.
