A comprehensive presentation of essential topics for biological engineers, focusing on the development and application of dynamic models of biomolecular and cellular phenomena. This book describes the fundamental molecular and cellular events responsible for biological function, develops models to study biomolecular and cellular phenomena, and shows, with examples, how models are applied in the design and interpretation of experiments on biological systems. Integrating molecular cell biology with quantitative engineering analysis and design, it is the first textbook to offer a comprehensive presentation of these essential topics for chemical and biological engineering. The book systematically develops the concepts necessary to understand and study complex biological phenomena, moving from the simplest elements at the smallest scale and progressively adding complexity at the cellular organizational level, focusing on experimental testing of mechanistic hypotheses. After introducing the motivations for formulation of mathematical rate process models in biology, the text goes on to cover such topics as noncovalent binding interactions; quantitative descriptions of the transient, steady state, and equilibrium interactions of proteins and their ligands; enzyme kinetics; gene expression and protein trafficking; network dynamics; quantitative descriptions of growth dynamics; coupled transport and reaction; and discrete stochastic processes. The textbook is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in chemical engineering and bioengineering, and has been developed by the authors for classes they teach at MIT and the University of Minnesota.

Fundamentals of Biomedical Engineering: A First Course is for students taking a first or introductory undergraduate course in biomedical engineering, typically at Sophomore or Junior level. It is written for students who have completed first courses in math, physics and chemistry, who are being introduced to the wide range of inter-connected topics that comprise today’s BME curriculum. Opening with a survey of what BME is, and what biomedical engineers can contribute to the well-being of human life, the book introduces the key mathematical techniques based primarily on static conditions, but through to 1st order differential equations (derivatives and integrals) where necessary. The scope of the book is limited to the needs of a single semester introductory course, covering the basics of signals and signal processing; biological and cellular systems; biomechanics; biomaterials and tissue engineering; biochemistry; bioinstrumentation and medical imaging; and ethics. The book also provides a primer on anatomy and physiology. This text reflects the need for an engineering focused introduction to biomedical engineering and bioengineering and specifically meets ABET requirements for courses to develop in their graduates an understanding of biology and physiology and the capability to apply advanced mathematics (including differential equations and statistics), science, and engineering to solve problems at the interface of engineering and biology. It also directly addresses the need for students to have an ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems, and addresses the problems associated with the interaction between living and non-living materials and systems. The book integrates modelling and analysis and is backed up throughout by MATLAB-based examples and exercises. All key concepts and equations are fully defined and provided with worked out derivations and comments to help students connect the math with the physics, and the physics with the biology. The book employs a robust pedagogy to help students and instructors navigate the subject, and is enhanced by accompanying teaching resources including MATLAB tutorials, lecturing slides, BME links and projects, an updated assignment and homework library and a fully worked Instructor’s Manual. Full color illustrations of biological and engineers systems throughout the text help students to really engage with and understand unfamiliar topics and concepts. John Enderle and Joe Bronzino are two of the best known biomedical engineers today, renowned for their encylopedic Introduction to Biomedical Engineering. Their expertise and authority has helped them to create this essential first text, which can be used both as a stand alone text in its own right, or as a precursor to the advanced text. Where students move on to the advanced text at senior or graduate level they will benefit from a logical continuation of style and approach and authority.
