About the author
Eberhard O. Voit has been working in systems biology for over forty years. He is considered an expert on pathway analysis and biochemical systems theory. He is particularly interested in the education of the next generation of computational systems biologists and has numerous books and over 300 articles and book chapters to his credit.
Melissa L. Kemp is a systems biologist who has been combining experimental and computational studies for over two decades. She is interested in developing methods of computational systems biology to investigate the role of cellular metabolism in influencing information processing and cell fate decisions and modes of communication that drive self-organization in multicellular systems.
