This book presents a comprehensive analysis of India’s relationship with the Southeast Asian nations in the context of the changing dynamics of international relations and the emergence of Indo-Pacific as the theatre of world politics. It covers a wide range of themes, from strategic to political, economic, diplomatic and security aspects, and assesses how India’s redefining of its role in world politics unfolds through its posture towards the Southeast Asian region.

The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of Asian studies, both South Asian and Southeast Asian studies, and politics and international relations. It will also be useful for public policy analysts and think tanks and policymakers.

This book introduces students tomethods that will help them understand behaviour in terms of cellularcomponents and their interactions in non-intuitive ways, which calls for aninterdisciplinary approach combining mathematical, chemical, computational andbiological strategies. Tibor Ganti was one of the early pioneers whoproposed a theoretical framework to understand living principles in terms ofchemical transformation cycles and their coupling. The twenty-first centurythen brought with it a novel ‘systems’ paradigm, which shone new light on allprevious work and was accompanied by numerous implications for the way weconceive of chemical and biological complexity today. 

This book seeks to equip students totake advantage of any field that investigates living systems. Based on aconceptualisation of science-oriented branches, engineering-oriented branchesand biology as astoundingly complex fields, those structures laden withbiochemical detail encompass a deeper theory unifying our knowledge of designedsystems. 

Readers will be pleasantly surprised athow lucidly the topics are presented. The book offers an indispensable resourcefor students and professionals working in systems and synthetic biology or anyof the various related fields of research.

The book serves as an amalgamation of knowledge and principles used in the area of systems and synthetic biology, and targets inter-disciplinary research groups. The readers from diversified areas would be benefited by the valuable resources and information available in one book. Microbiome projects with efficient data handling can fuel progress in the area of microbial synthetic biology by providing a ready to use plug and play chassis. Advances in gene editing technology such as the use of tailor made synthetic transcription factors will further enhance the availability of synthetic devices to be applied in the fields of environment, agriculture and health. The different chapters of the book reviews a broad range of topics, including food microbiome in ecology, use of microbiome in personalized medicine, machine learning  in biomedicine. The book also describes ways to harness and exploit the incredible amounts of genomic data.

 The book is not only limited to medicine but also caters to the needs of environmentalists, biochemical engineers etc. It will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in life sciences, computational biology, microbiology and other inter-disciplinary areas. 

This book presents the applications of systems biology and synthetic biology in cancer medicine. It highlights the use of computational and mathematical models to decipher the complexity of cancer heterogeneity. The book emphasizes the modeling approaches for predicting behavior of cancer cells, tissues in context of drug response, and angiogenesis. It introduces cell-based therapies for the treatment of various cancers and reviews the role of neural networks for drug response prediction. Further, it examines the system biology approaches for the identification of medicinal plants in cancer drug discovery. It explores the opportunities for metabolic engineering in the realm of cancer research towards development of new cancer therapies based on metabolically derived targets. Lastly, it discusses the applications of data mining techniques in cancer research. This book is an excellent guide for oncologists and researchers who are involved in the latest cancer research.
