A repo containing code for basic biological models and visualizatons.
NOTE: The models are generated with the assistance of GenAI coding assistant tools.
The classic Lotka-Volterra model (also known as the predator-prey model) describes the dynamic interactions between predators and their prey. It is described by a pair of nonlinear differential equations, and the model assumes that the prey consumption rate by a predator is directly proportional to the prey abundance.

Here we look at bacterial growth in a bioreactor. The Monod equation is used to describe the growth of microorganisms, and the model output demonstrates the biomass, substrate, and product concentrations.

A model of the heart rate responses to exercise for individuals of different fitness levels. The heart rate is shown for various exercise phases including warm-up, increasing intensity, peak exercise, and cool down.
A model of blood glucose responses to meals of different glycemic indexes. Meal types influence which glucose zone the individual reaches.
A model of tumor growth and its response to chemotherapy. The model also incorporates aspects of angiogenesis, VEGF, and hypoxia.
Multiscale model of a runner that incorporates both training load and physiological metrics. The model provides one with a theoretical prediction of the effects of training on physiological metrics.
