Editors:
- Unique reflection of the diversity and utility of models used in biomedicine
- Novel discussion of reproductive, mitotic, developmental or aging cycles in a range of organisms in comparison with humans
- Insights on how some organisms that are able to grow in laboratory settings or lend themselves to convenient analyses have defined genomes or present especially good human models of human or animal disease
- Uses a range of tables and figures to make comparisons of models so that observations not available in primary publications can become useful to the reader
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Conn, a distinguished scientist … has created one of the most significant and comprehensive model reference tools in recent years. … provides a system of relevancy that leads the serious student to adapt the model to their own different and perhaps unique research applications. The essays have a sufficient number of tables and overwhelmingly black-and-white figures and photographs to assist in comprehension. … Very useful for libraries serving upper-division and graduate students in the life sciences." (John M. Robson, American Reference Books Annual, 2009)
“Sourcebook of Models for Biomedical Research is a collection of the various models developed over several decades in biomedicine. … The chapters are presented clearly, easy to understand, and interesting to read. … In summary, this book would be a great addition to the library of anyone who is interested in an overview of model development for biomedical research.” (Dongwen Wang, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 85 (3), September, 2010)
