Automation in Proteomics and Genomics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach

Description

• Edited by the team responsible for “Systems Bioinformatics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach” – ranked number one in current sales for bioinformatics on Amazon
• Based on the course material from two popular MIT and Harvard interdisciplinary special studies courses which have an engineering-based, problem solving approach
• Describes current automation technology in areas of analysis, design, and integration, as well as providing basic biology concepts behind proteomics and genomics.
• Identifies development opportunities that could inspire the next incremental improvement or disruptive technology to change the research landscape dramatically
