Gurpal Bisra: My contribution to the modeling component of our project was to simulate the biochemical pathways for our genetically engineered yeasts. I programmed simulations using the SimBiology Toolkit in MATLAB. Every yeast cell is designed to produce one specific monoterpene in mass, and others monterpenes in small amounts. Furthermore, I am assisting Jacob Toth and Joe Ho develop another model which shows the spread of the pine beetle using ARCGIS.

I programmed simulations using the SimBiology Toolkit in MATLAB. Every yeast cell is designed to produce one specific monoterpene in mass, and others monterpenes in small amounts. Each simulation is based on the rate at which transcription, translation and monoterpene production occur. Our project is based on research that has been conducted in 2011 so some variables will need to be experimentally determined in the future to make more accurate simulations. Furthermore, I am assisting Jacob Toth and Joe Ho develop another model which shows the spread of the pine beetle using ARCGIS. We will show how the pine beetle is predicted to spread in British Columbia, according to the government of British Columbia, and compare that to how we predict our modified yeasts may slow down the spread of the pine beetle.
