The fields of biological and medical physics and biomedical engineering are broad, multidisciplinary, and dynamic. They lie at the crossroads of frontier research in physics, biology, chemistry, and medicine. The Biological and Medical Physics/Biomedical Engineering series is intended to be comprehensive, covering a broad range of topics important to the study of the physical, chemical, and biological sciences. Its goal is to provide scientists and engineers with textbooks, monographs, and reference works to address the growing need for information.
Books in the series emphasize established and emergent areas of science including molecular, membrane, and mathematical biophysics; photosyn-thetic energy harvesting and conversion; information processing; physical principles of genetics; sensory communications; and automata networks, neural networks, and cellular automata. Equally important will be coverage of applied aspects of biological and medical physics and biomedical engineering, such as molecular electronic components and devices, biosensors, medicine, imaging, physical principles of renewable energy production, advanced prostheses, and environmental control and engineering.
