SUMMARY:Systems Virology: Models and measures of virus growth and infe
 ction spread\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, John Yin\, WI Departm
 ent of Chemical & Biological Engineering Systems Biology Theme\, Wisco
 nsin Institute for Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Viruses infect humans and cause diseases such as AIDS\, he
 patitis\, cancer\, and influenza\, annually impacting the health of a 
 major fraction of the world's population.  Basic science has revealed 
 the molecular functions encoded by many viruses of biomedical importan
 ce\, but relatively little progress has been made toward understanding
  how the individual functions of a virus contribute to the integrated 
 processes of virus growth and infection spread.  We have begun to addr
 ess this deficiency by developing quantitative experiments and mathema
 tical models to describe the growth and spread of vesicular stomatitis
  virus (VSV)\, a rabies-like virus that can be readily cultured in the
  laboratory.  This talk will highlight our recent progress toward coup
 ling the roles of both biological amplification and physical movement 
 in the growth and spread of virus infections. Advances from the work h
 ave applications toward the development of more potent vaccines\, anti
 -viral therapies\, as well as virus-based therapies to treat cancer.&l
