Immune‐viral dynamics modeling for SARS‐CoV‐2 drug development

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) global pandemic is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome‐coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) viral infection, which can lead to pneumonia, lung injury, and death in susceptible populations. Understanding viral dynamics of SARS‐CoV‐2 is critical for developme...
