Title:  Mathematical Analysis of HIV-1 Dynamics in Vivo

Abstract:

In this talk I will present some topics from the joint paper
of P. Nelson and A. Perelson with the above mentioned title.
The abstract for my talk is as follows.
Mathematical Analysis have proven valuable in understanding
the dynamics of HIV -1 infection in vivo. By comparing these
models to data obtained from patients undergoing antiretroviral
drug therapy, it has been possible to determine many
quantitative features of the interaction between HIV-1, the
virus that causes AIDS and the cells that are infected by the virus.
The most dramatic finding has been that even though AIDS is a
disease that occurs in a time scale of 10 years, there are very
rapid dynamical processes that occur in time scales of weeks to
months.
