Fully revised and updated, this second edition is a comprehensive introduction to molecular communication including the theory, applications, and latest developments. Written with accessibility in mind, it requires little background knowledge, and carefully introduces the relevant aspects of biology and information theory, as well as practical systems. Capturing the significant changes and developments in the past decade, this edition includes seven new chapters covering: the architecture of molecular communication; modelling of biological molecular communication; mobile molecular communication; macroscale systems; design of components and bio-nanomachine formations. The authors present the biological foundations followed by analyses of biological systems in terms of communication theory, and go on to discuss the practical aspects of designing molecular communication systems such as drug delivery, lab-on-a-chip, and tissue engineering. Including case studies and experimental techniques, this remains a definitive guide to molecular communication for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering, computer science, and molecular biology.

Reviews for Molecular Communication

'A must-read reference with a balanced mix of fundamental theories and practical implementations, critical retrospectives and insightful prospectives from pioneers in the emerging field of Molecular Communication as it enters its second decade of development and continues expanding rapidly.' Yifan Chen, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China 'This 2nd edition of Molecular Communication is a fresh update of a seminal textbook from pioneers in this interdisciplinary field and includes many advances from the past decade. I will continue to recommend this book to anyone interested in molecular communication engineering.' Adam Noel, University of Warwick 'This new edition is a welcome revision of an already lovely resource for those interested in Molecular Communication. With updated citations and content, this is a must-have reference perhaps especially for those just getting started in the field, but also for those with some sophistication since it starts simply - describing the problem and applications - and builds toward a wide range of possible system types and modeling paradigms.' Chris Rose, Brown University 'The authors are among the earliest and most distinguished researchers in the field of molecular communication, and this book stands as the first comprehensive book in the domain, providing an in-depth exploration from overarching concepts to specific details of molecular communication systems. The book has been immensely helpful to me, and I believe that the 2nd edition will undoubtedly be beneficial to both professionals with years of experience and newcomers entering the field for the first time.' Lin Lin, Tongji University
