The Tenth q-bio Summer School - Albuquerque: Lecture 2
From Q-bio
Introduction to viral dynamics and modeling
Ruy Ribeiro (LANL)
The field of "Viral Dynamics" focus on studying viral and immune systems dynamics at the cellular population level, that is the modeling of interactions of immune cells and viruses within an individual. I will present a basic introduction to the biology of viruses and their interaction with the immune system.
In the second part of the talk, I propose a discussion of the benefits of modeling biological systems. Together we should provide possible answers to the question "Why model biological systems?"
