Week 2

09/07

Our first step towards modelling a possible method for PHASE 1.

10/07

We planned and gave a lecture to those in Wetlab, explaining the methods we employ, as modellers, to represent various biochemical reactions. We also received a complementary lecture from those in Wetlab explaining the processes they employ to carry out and observe experimentation.

11/07

We have finally agreed on model we are going to simulate, but wet lab updated us, that first experiment went wrong and we have to remodel. First few minutes after such news were shocking. It took us an hour to finalize all the details. And now we have to go again.
Lucky for us, modelers, computers do not care much about bacteria used in the experiment so as long as we follow the same pathway, we only need to rename variables. [http://www.sandals.co.uk/media/media.cfm?RESORT=an&TYPE=THUMB&MAIN_IMAGE=an-001.jpg Bless!]

12/07

A day dedicated to manual math's, as Rachel and Kristin does some analytical derivations for our model's optimization. To be honest, we were very optimistic about the outcome, and though, the formula derived were fine, and simulations went on as smoothly as ever, the optimization part shoved that 9 dimensional space is though nut to crack, even for [http://www.mathworks.co.uk/products/matlab/ MatLAB.]

13/07

Some introduction to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_modelling Stochastic Modelling] intrinsicaly contained in gene transcription. We took some decisions about the design of the wiki. More optimization done by Maciej.
