<p>Mathematical models and computer simulations provide a great way to describe the function and operation of BioBrick Parts and Devices. Synthetic Biology is an engineering discipline, and part of engineering is simulation and modeling to determine the behavior of your design before you build it. Designing and simulating can be iterated many times in a computer before moving to the lab. This award is for teams who build a model of their system and use it to inform system design or simulate expected behavior in conjunction with experiments in the wet lab.</p>

<p>In order to gauge the effect, severity and duration of lead contamination can have on a population, we decided to model the contamination of lead in drinking water on a young population. We began by inspecting the literature and looking for the physiological effects and absorption rates of lead through ingestion. It is believed that only <b>50%</b> of lead consumed is absorbed by the body (citation). </p>
