About this ebook

Over the past decades, systems biology approaches have been applied in different areas of life science research including oncology. Researchers now understand the hallmarks of cancer cells such as abnormal cell growth, inflammation, dysregulated metabolic pathways and drug resistance properties at a molecular level. Systems biology approaches have enabled researchers to investigate cancer immunology by identifying cancer related biomarkers on immune cells, and to study the effect of different therapies in tissue cultures and mouse models.
Systems Biology in Cancer Immunotherapy explains the scope of systems biology in understanding the immune response to neoplasms. The book introduces readers to the concepts crucial to cancer immunology before delving into the applied systems biology topics such as the metabolic pathways in cancer cells, the biomolecular roles of signal transduction molecules and immunotherapy. A brief conclusion at the end also provides some information from a clinical and commercial perspective on cancer immunotherapy.
This volume is intended as an introductory reference for life science and medical students, researchers and academics interested in the application of systems biology to the immune system in cancer patients.

Mahbuba Rahman

Dr. Mahbuba Rahman earned her B.Sc. (Honors), M.Sc in Microbiology and an M.S. in Environmental Science. She completed her PhD in Metabolic Engineering from the Department of Bioscience and Bioinformatics, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. Post Ph.D., she worked with a transgenic mice model of Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome, which is an inborn error of cholesterol synthesis, at Children’s Hospital Research Institute (CHORI), Oakland, California. Mahbuba has published several research articles including clinical and non-clinical research in high-impact factor journals. She also authored multiple review articles and book chapters in high-impact journals and with well-known publishers. She is also an editor of an eBook on cancer immunotherapy and an editor of a hard copy book on Metabolomics A Path Towards Personalized Medicine. She is also a special topic editor and guest editor in Frontiers in Genetics, Frontiers in Immunology, and in Journal of Microbiological Methods. At present, she is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Biology, at McMaster University. She is investigating the role of global regulators in pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms using systems biology approaches.
