Modeling Viral Infections in Vivo

Alan S. Perelson

Los Alamos National Laboratory

Viral infections caused by agents such as HIV and hepatitis C virus are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths in the US each year. I will show that using mathematical models combined with experimental data one can gain insights into the dynamic properties of infection that can be used to guide treatment. One basic principle is that drug therapy can be viewed as a perturbation, and by studying the dynamics of the response to therapy one can insights into the underlying dynamical processes and the dissect out processes occurring on different time scale.
