There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: Viral dynamics of SARS-CoV2 and role of antiviral treatments
Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.
Dr. Jeremie GuedjViral dynamics of SARS-CoV2 and role of antiviral treatments
In this presentation I will discuss how mathematical modeling of viral dynamics have been used during the Covid-19 pandemics. I will first show how the first data obtained in hospitalized patients have been used to better understand some key aspect of the viral dynamics during an infection, and to assess the impact of viral load on disease progression and risk of death. I will then show that these models can be used to estimate the antiviral efficacy of drugs, taking the example of remdesivir and monoclonal antibodies. Lastly, I will discuss the use of models to tease out the impact of viral load on the risk of transmission
