Title: SARS-CoV-2 dynamics across scales: From within-host dynamics to socioeconomic disparities
Abstract: The biological mechanisms that influence the population dynamics of infectious diseases remain an active area of research relevant to quantitative methods development and applied public health. Temporal and spatial changes in infectious disease dynamics are difficult to anticipate due to within-host heterogeneity and the complex behavior that human hosts exhibit. Using mathematical models, I will describe diverse approaches to understand why and how SARS-CoV-2 infectious outcomes might differ by looking at longitudinal data collected from the UIUC SHIELD project and COVID-19 outcomes associated with socioeconomic status inequalities.
