Introducing molecular biology to medical physicists

Molecular biology helps us understand how genetic information is converted to functional proteins, how proteins interact through complex networks to determine the fate and function of a cell and how mutations lead to diseases. In the era of molecular medicine and ommissionin medicine, medical physic...
