The Ninth q-bio Summer School - Albuquerque: Lecture 6
From Q-bio
How to model a viral infection
Alan S. Perelson (LANL Senior Fellow)
I will show how one goes from empirical data to generating and testing a model of viral infection within a single individual. To showcase the methods I will use two examples, HIV and hepatitis C virus infection. Both viral infections are major health problems in the world today and I will show how modeling has influenced the way people think about the events going on in infected individuals and how modeling has influenced how people are treated for these infections.
