An INFORMATION APPROACH TO MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION, AN: EXTENDING SWERDLOW'S HYPOTHESIS by Rodrick Wallace

The monograph applies sophisticated topological symmetry tools to biological applications of information theory, along with a Black-Scholes model invocation of the Data Rate Theorem which links information and control theories. The focus is on statistical mechanics and other models that explore pathological phase transitions -- driven by changes in available rates of mitochondrial free energy -- in physiological functions, a cutting-edge topic in the study of chronic disease. One of the key focuses is Alzheimer's disease -- a relatively simple canonical example.

Robert G. Wallace, PhD, is a public health phylogeographer presently visiting the University of Minnesota's Institute for Global Studies. His research has addressed the evolution and spread of influenza, the agroeconomics of Ebola, the social geography of HIV/AIDS in New York City, the emergence of Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus out of Ugandan prehistory, and the evolution of infection life history in response to antivirals. Wallace is co-author of Farming Human Pathogens: Ecological Resilience and Evolutionary Process (Springer). He has consulted for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Rodrick Wallace, PhD, is a research scientist in the Division of Epidemiology of the New York State Psychiatric Institute at Columbia University. He received undergraduate and graduate degrees in mathematics and physics from Columbia, worked a decade as a public interest lobbyist, is a past recipient of an Investigator Award in Health Policy Research from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and is the author of numerous books and papers on matters of public health and public order.
