SYCO: Symposium The Physics of CoViD Infections

SYCO 1: The Physics of CoViD Infections

Montag, 27. September 2021, 13:30–16:15, Audimax 1

Viral diseases involve a combination of physical, chemical, and biological, mechanisms–from the development of a viral infection in an organism to the spreading of the disease in a population. The physical understanding of these mechanisms involves on the molecular and cellular level, the structure and dynamics of viral proteins, their interaction with the cell membrane, and the development of drugs to prevent cell entry. On the level of transmission of the disease from person to person, it concerns the dynamics of droplet formation and breakup, and the areo- and hydrodynamics of droplet distribution. Finally, on the population level, simulation studies of the spreading of the disease in large groups help to predict the spreading dynamics and to develop strategies that can be employed to prevent spreading. This also concerns the development of strategies to use of a limited amount of a vaccine most efficiently in the early stages of a viral disease.
