HANDBOOK OF MODERN BIOPHYSICS

"This is the second book in the Handbook Of Modern Biophysics series. The Handbook of Modern Biophysics: Biomembrane Frontiers: Nanostructures, Models, and the Design of Life will focus on frontiers in biomembranes, a pertinent topic in modern biophysics. All contributors lead the membrane research field as active, well respected researchers/educators at Carnegie-Mellon University, Finland Institute of Physics, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, Stanford University, University of Calgary, University of California, University of Pennsylvania, and Vanderbilt University."
