(The human genome of three billion letters has been sequen...)
The human genome of three billion letters has been sequenced. So have the genomes of thousands of other organisms. With unprecedented resolution, modern technologies are allowing us to peek into the world of genes, biomolecules, and cells - and flooding us with data of immense complexity that we are just barely beginning to understand. A huge gap separates our knowledge of the components of a cell and what is known from our observations of its physiology. The authors have written this graduate textbook to explore what has been done to close this gap of understanding between the realms of molecules and biological processes. They have gathered together illustrative mechanisms and models of gene regulatory networks, DNA replication, the cell cycle, cell death, differentiation, cell senescence, and the abnormal state of cancer cells. The mechanisms are biomolecular in detail, and the models are mathematical in nature. The interdisciplinary presentation will be of interest to both biologists and mathematicians, and every discipline in between.

Friedman, Avner was born on November 19, 1932 in Petah-Tikva, Israel. Son of Moshe and Hanna (Rosenthal) Friedman. came to the United States, 1956.
Master of Science, Hebrew U., Jerusalem, 1954; Doctor of Philosophy, Hebrew U., Jerusalem, 1956.
His primary field of research is partial differential equations, with interests in stochastic processes, mathematical modeling, free boundary problems, and control theory. He was Professor of Mathematics at Northwestern University (1962–1985), a Duncan Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Purdue University (1985–1987), and a Professor of Mathematics (Regents' Professor from 1996) at the University of Minnesota (1987–2001). He was director of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications from 1987 to 1997.
He was the founding Director of the Mathematical Biosciences Institute at Ohio State University, serving as its first director from 2002–2008. Friedman has been the Chair of the Board of Mathematical Sciences (1994–1997) and the President of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (1993–1994). In 2009 he became a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. He has been adviser to 27 doctoral students, has published 20 books, and over 400 papers.
