Summary – Mathematical Modeling Core HIV infection remains an important public health problem. Effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) can control the infection, but lifelong ART is challenging and is encumbered by long-term adverse drug effects. The major challenge to eradicating HIV-1 is the existence of the long-lived latent HIV-1 resevoir. While reservoir eradication is the ultimate goal, to achieve that goal we need greater understanding of the factors underlying the establishment of the reservoir, the composition of the reservoir, the dynamics of the reservoir and if there are specific properties of reservoir cells that could be exploited to enhance their elimination. Following the initiation of ART, the amount of virus in the blood drops dramatically. This is due to the fact that most infected cells die very quickly, and when new infection events are blocked by ART, this decay becomes apparent. However, not all of the infected cells die; some survive and may become part of the stable latent reservoir. This research program will study these decay processes using precise quantitative assays and single cell techniques in hope of understanding whether the decay represents a selection process that shapes the composition of the latent reservoir. The Modeling Core will develop mathematical models to explain these decay processes and how they are related to the dynamics of the latent reservoir. The Core will also provide expertise in experimental design and analysis of experimental results. We hope that this collaborative, quantitative approach will lead to a better understanding of how the reservoir forms and persists and to novel cure strategies.

摘要 - 数学建模核心 艾滋病毒感染仍然是一个重要的公共卫生问题。有效的抗逆转录病毒疗法（ART）可以 控制感染，但终身艺术受到挑战，并被长期不良药物所束缚 效果。消除HIV-1的主要挑战是存在长期寿命的潜在HIV-1 Resevoir。 虽然消除水库是最终目标，但要实现该目标，我们需要对 储层建立的因素，水库的组成，动力学 储层和储层电池的特定特性，可以探索以增强 他们的进化。遵循艺术的主动性，血液中的病毒量大幅下降。 这是由于大多数感染细胞死亡的事实，当新的感染事件是 被艺术所阻挡，这种腐烂变得显而易见。但是，并非所有受感染的细胞都死亡。一些生存 并可能成为稳定的潜在储层的一部分。该研究计划将研究这些衰败 使用精确的定量测定和单细胞技术的过程，希望能理解 衰减是否代表塑造潜在储层组成的选择过程。 建模核心将开发数学模型来解释这些衰减过程以及它们如何 与潜在储层的动态有关。核心还将为实验专家提供 实验结果的设计和分析。我们希望这种协作，定量的方法将 可以更好地理解储层如何形成和持久以及新颖的治疗策略。
