Omschrijving
Narrows down the scope of physical biology by focusing on the microbial cell. The book explores the physical phenomena of noise, feedback, and variability that arise in the cellular information-processing circuits used by bacteria.
Steve Hagen is Professor of Physics at the University of Florida. He began his scientific career in experimental condensed matter physics, studying high temperature superconductivity. He then switched to biological physics, studying first protein folding dynamics and then bacterial communication. Most recently his research work has focused on unravelling noisy regulatory pathways in quorum sensing bacteria. He has published numerous scientific papers in all of these areas, as well as book reviews of physics textbooks for professional journals, and he recently edited a book on the physics of bacterial communication. His interests also include physics education and public policy. Prior to working at the University of Florida he worked at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda Maryland and he was also a congressional science fellow with the American Institute of Physics.
