Our modelling in this project has several aims :
  • To find the amount of DPP-IV reduction reached when the system reaches equilibrium
  • To find a way to control the level of DPP-IV reduction
  • To find the minimum number of RdRps, replicons, etc to be initially transfected into the cell, which are required to achieve a steady state for the system
  • To find out how long does it take for the system to reach equilibrium
  • To find out the level of reduction we need to treat diabetes
  • To find out how stable the system is (i.e. will the system only work in very specific situations, or in lots of different systems?)
We are currently using Simbiology in Matlab and Copasi to model the system. We are currently adapting several different models, which come from research into how HCV infections work, to our system.
