Invited Speakers

Christophe Fraser is a Senior Group Leader in Pathogen Dynamics at the Big Data Institute and a professor in the Nuffield Department of Medicine. He is interested in studying the population dynamics and epidemiology of pathogens and translating this knowledge into public health applications. His research group primarily uses mathematical modeling and pathogen genomics as key tools.

Armita Nourmohammad is an associate professor of physics at the University of Washington. Her research combines statistical physics and biology to study evolutionary processes, with a focus on immunology and protein dynamics. Her work aims to uncover fundamental principles governing biological adaptation and molecular interactions.

Alan Perelson is a Senior Fellow in the Theoretical Biology and Biophysics Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. His research focuses on mathematical and theoretical biology, particularly in immunology, virology, and cell and molecular biology. He has developed viral kinetic models describing infection dynamics and responses to antiviral therapy.

Udo Reichl is the Director of the Bioprocess Engineering Group at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, Germany. His research focuses on optimizing viral-based production processes, developing chromatographic methods for viral antigen purification, and mathematical modeling of bioprocesses and cellular systems.

Jeffrey Sachs is the director of the Quantitative Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics Department at Merck Research Laboratories. His work involves modeling and simulation to support vaccine program decisions from early discovery through late-stage clinical development.

Véronique Godot is a full professor of immunology at the University of Paris-Est Créteil since 2012. She is affiliated with the Institut Mondor de Recherche Biomédicale (IMRB). Her research focuses on immunology of infectious diseases, inflammation, and immune regulation. She is also involved with the Vaccine Research Institute, contributing to preclinical models.

France Mentré is a Professor of Biostatistics at Université Paris Cité. Her research focuses on biostatistical modeling and pharmacometrics, particularly in infectious diseases. She develops methods to support dose optimization and individualized therapy.

Olivier Schwartz is a professor at the Institut Pasteur, where he has led the Virus and Immunity Unit since 2007. His research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 replication, as well as the interactions between these viruses and the host immune system.
