Good luck with your projects!
See how former iGEMers used MathWorks tools, such as MATLAB and SimBiology, for a variety of modeling and simulation projects. A few examples from previous years!
- Team TU Delft modeled 3D printing of their bacterial biofilm using MATLAB in order to determine the factors that have a strong influence on the biofilm strength.
- Team Oxford built stochastic and deterministic models of genetic circuits in order to tackle environmental pollution by developing a device for the detection and degradation of the hazardous yet indispensable solvent dichloromethane (DCM).
- Team KU Leuven modelled the pathway leading to Methyl Salicylate (MeS) production and performed sensitivity analysis, in order to predict MeS production and find the rate limiting steps.
- Team Carnegie Mellon derived an ODE model and used it with experimental time-course data to estimate key parameters like transcriptional and translational efficiency.
- Team Slovenia performed parameter scans to better characterize the effects of the parameters space on the behavior their bistable system, Switch IT.
