Systems and Synthetic Immunology

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.
