insilicho 1.1.1

An insilico model for CHO cells

InSiliCHO

A model to capture CHO dynamics in-silico. An accompanying streamlit app to try the model out is available.

Model is based on the following primary sources:

Usage

This repo serves as a standalone package, available to install using (or added as a dependency) using:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/culturerobotics/insilicho#egg=insilicho

Example

  from insilicho import run

  def T(time):
      """returns temperature in degC"""
      return 36.4

  def F(time):
      """returns flow rate in L/hr"""
      return 0.003

  model = run.GrowCHO(
      {"parameters": {"K_lys": "0.05 1/h"}},
      feed_fn=F,
      temp_fn=T,
  )

  model.execute(plot=True, initial_conditions={"V": "50 mL"})
  
  final_vol = model.full_result.state[-1, 8]
  print(final_V) # 0.914L
