Description:
Part of the complexity of biological and epidemiological systems arises from interactions that occur on different scales. This mini-symposium explores available data scales and how models can be formulated to represent them, with applications to viral dynamics, immune responses, and epidemiology. In addition to showcasing current work by presenters, this session encourages discussion of further development on and novel approaches to multiscale modelling of infectious diseases. This session aims to gather speakers from diverse backgrounds, including early and late-career scientists and post-docs, different fields of expertise such as viral dynamics, immunology (T-cell and antibody) and epidemiology and cover a range of institutions (such as Academia and National labs).
