Modelling Overview

Why did we model? What did we hope to achieve?

We generated mathematical models of our DNA-based system, our protein-based system, and the effects associated with the implementation of our diagnostic device on a human population. The aim of our models was to better understand our systems and improve them to become more feasible.

We also created a software, which highlights the versatility of our device – by changing some of the DNA sequences (particularly the cleavage sites and output), our device can be used to detect various diseases. Our software aims to make it easier for other groups to use our diagnostic for other diseases.

What techniques did we use for modelling?

We employed numerous modelling techniques and equations to most accurately assess our systems. These include mass action and Michaelis-Menten kinetics, sensitivity analyses, parameter scans, stochastic modelling, and SIR and vector epidemiological modeling. Please follow the links below to see more detailed explanations of our models and to try out our software!


How is our model integrated with the rest of our project?

Our modelling was closely interlinked with the rest of our project: it greatly informed and was informed by our design, wet lab work, and human practices. For more detail, please look at the specific modelling pages!
