Modelling viral and immune system dynamics

During the past 6 years, there have been substantial advances in our understanding of human immunodeficiency virus I and other viruses, such as hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus, that cause chronic infection. The use of mathematical modelling to interpret experimental results has made a significant contribution to this field. Mathematical modelling is also improving our understanding of T-cell dynamics and the quantitative events that underlie the immune response to pathogens.
