Physical 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.
