Modeling of Mass Transport Processes in Biological Media focuses on applications of mass transfer relevant to biomedical processes and technology—fields that require quantitative mechanistic descriptions of the delivery of molecules and drugs. This book features recent advances and developments in biomedical therapies with a focus on the associated theoretical and mathematical techniques necessary to predict mass transfer in biological systems. The book is authored by over 50 established researchers who are internationally recognized as leaders in their fields. Each chapter contains a comprehensive introductory section for those new to the field, followed by recent modeling developments motivated by empirical experimental observation. Offering a unique opportunity for the reader to access recent developments from technical, theoretical, and engineering perspectives, this book is ideal for graduate and postdoctoral researchers in academia as well as experienced researchers in biomedical industries. - Offers updated information related to advanced techniques and fundamental knowledge, particularly advances in computer-based diagnostics and treatment and numerical simulations - Provides a bridge between well-established theories and the latest developments in the field - Coverage includes dialysis, inert solute transport (insulin), electrokinetic transport, cellular molecular uptake, transdermal drug delivery and respiratory therapies
