Approach

Modelling Notebook

  • Progress Report - To track our progress see our weekly reports which let you know what we have been up to with comments on the reasons behind any important decisions.
  • Modelling Parameters - Full listings of all parameters investigated for the modelling part of the project, with values that have been chosen, reasons for their selection and references to the original sources.

Models

  • Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) - To understand the dynamics of genetic networks that we design differental equations are used to model the changes in concentrations of mRNA and proteins.
  • Stochastic Agent Based Simulation - With the project requiring global behaviour to emerge via en masse movement of bacteria, stochastic agent based simulations are used to investigate the viability and limits of different approaches.
  • Hybrid Model - With the aim of improving simulation accuracy this model integrates the intercellular GRN dynamics with the extra-cellular interactions of the stochastic agent based simulation.
