This page contains information on the text Biomolecular Feedback Systems by Domitilla Del Vecchio and Richard M. Murray.
Copyright in this book is held by Princeton University Press, who have kindly agreed to allow us to keep the book available on the web.
This textbook is intended for researchers interested in the application of feedback and control to biomolecular systems. The material has been designed so that it can be used in parallel with Feedback Systems as part of a course on biomolecular feedback and control systems, or as a standalone reference for readers who have had a basic course in feedback and control theory.
