A two-and-a-half day workshop whose objective is to change the landscape of how we model and understand viruses. A small group of scientists will discuss new theoretical and computational tools to bridge multiple spatiotemporal scales in the study of viral dynamics from phage to human pathogens. Topics will be organized around the following broad themes:

• Within and between cell dynamics
• Within and between host dynamics
• From infection to evolution

• Unifying features of multi-scale models
• Constraint of viral exploitation
• Immunoepidemiology
• Viral impacts on ecology and evolution
• Connecting models to data
