Mathematical models are very important in the design of an iGEM project. The Michigan modeling team is composed of Josh, Kevin, and Jennifer. We are currently researching different models that have been previously done that can help us in our own modeling endeavors.

Pili

We have decided to model the growth of a biofilm using pili. The pili neural network has been characterized, and is controlled by the genes FimB and FimE. By modeling the flocculation of the algae, we hope to be able to predict how our reactions will proceed.

Quorum Sensing

Quorum sensing has been modeled by other iGEM teams for previous competitions, including: [http://parts.mit.edu/igem07/index.php/Bangalore Bangalore] and Singapore
