Modelling Workshop at the U.K. meet up

On Friday the 12th of July our team was at UCL for the iGEM U.K. meet up. We delivered a workshop about Mathematical modelling and using the rule-based modelling language BioNetGen.

We first gave a presentation covering the following areas:

• What is modelling?

• The benefits of rule-based modelling.

• The difference between deterministic and stochastic modelling.

• How to build a Michaelis-Menten model with BioNetGen.

NB. Information about modelling the Subtilin system is included in our lecture slides on our wiki for the extra keen but was not covered in our talk.

We then ran a practice session in which we helped people get to grips with the BioNetGen language and the software required to produce models (Rulebender). We provided a hand-out guiding people in how to build a Michaelis-Menten model and a simplified Lac operon model. We were also happy to help build models for attendees own iGEM projects.

Links to our slides, hand-outs and feedback form are listed below:
