Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

The accessibility of the skin in vivo has resulted in the development of non-invasive methods in the past 40 years that offer accurate measurements of skin properties and structures from microscopic to macroscopic levels. However, the mechanisms involved in these properties are still only partly understood. Similar to many other domains, including biomedical engineering, numerical modeling has appeared as a complementary key actor for improving our knowledge of skin physiology.

This book presents, for the first time, the contributions that focus on scientific computing and numerical modeling to offer a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in skin physiology. The book is structured around some skin properties and functions, including optical and biomechanical properties and skin barrier function and homeostasis, with—for each of them—several chapters that describe either biological or physical models at different scales.

Bernard Querleux is senior research associate at the Worldwide Advanced Research center of L’Oreal Research & Innovation, France. He obtained his doctorate in electronic engineering and signal processing from the University of Grenoble, France, in 1987 and his habilitation in biophysics from Paris-Sud University, France, in 1995. Since 2005, Dr. Querleux is serving as scientific chairperson of the International Society for Biophysics and Imaging of the Skin. Apart from being an expert in functional brain imaging for the objective assessment of sensory perception, his main research interests concern the development of new non-invasive methods, including numerical modeling for skin and hair characterization.

Reviews for Computational Biophysics of the Skin

"""This book presents an excellent overview of the state of the art in the computational modeling of the skin, ranging from optical and biomechanical modeling to a discussion on the skin barrier function and skin fluids. All chapters are written by internationally well-known researchers in the field, each of them supplying a comprehensive reference list for each chapter. It is an excellent read for anyone starting in the field and also a very good source of information for experts."" Prof. Cees W. J. Oomens, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands ""This book offers a fantastic approach to the non-invasive research of the skin. It will be a valuable reference for not only students but also experts in skin research."" Prof. Chil Hwan Oh, Korea University, South Korea"
