Description

Multiscale mathematical modelling to gain insights into hepatitis viruses. This project aims to use mathematical modelling to study hepatitis viruses at multiple levels. The project expects to develop complex yet analysable mathematical models to comprehend the fundamental biology of hepatitis viruses by elucidating longitudinal patterns in viral and immune markers at intracellular and cellular levels, and advance a new subfield in mathematical biology, i.e., modelling codependent human viruses. Expected outcomes of the project include new generalized mathematical tools, biological insights that may aid research beyond the scope of this project, and strong interdisciplinary collaborations. Expected benefits include an increased capacity of the research community in Australia to use mathematical models in virology.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
