Viral Dynamics: mathematical modeling to study virus biology
Modeling of the non-linear dynamics of virus in vivo, for example during primary infection or following drug treatment, has been used in the last two decades to study the biology of diverse viruses. I will discuss, with examples from HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, the principles and approach of this methodology. I will also present recent examples of insights into the biology of these viruses and SARS-CoV-2 gained with viral dynamics.
