A repository containing code for custom computational modelling components within the 2021 Warwick team iGEM project.
We used Python to implement a discrete time, stochastic, compartmental model of the spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens through a population.
We propose a validated computational model of the spread of an antibiotic resistant pathogens in a hospital, with and without our diagnostic tool for quickly identifying it, and show that in a relevant scenario it reduces the presence of antibiotic resistant pathogens in our selected scenario, showing our product is beneficial in the real-world.

The core team members of the project are:
- Edmund Goodman, Model design and software implementation
- Axel Schoerner Emillon, Model design and data analysis
With thanks to Reanna Gregory, Alex Darlington, and the rest of the 2021 iGEM Warwick team for their time discussing the initial design and ways to improve the model.
