The project will be concerned with mathematical models of virus replication within hosts, and the interactions of viruses with immune responses. Much of this modeling work is concerned with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), due to the availability of experimental and clinical data. Topics include the evolution of HIV within hosts, the effect of spatial lymphoid tissue structure on HIV dynamics and evolution, and the dynamics of HIV during antiretroviral therapy in relation to the latent viral reservoir.

UCSD has an active quality improvement program that advances health to patients. Within the program there are opportunities to improve data quality, outreach campaigns, and outcomes measurement as part of quality informatics. Most projects would last 6-24 months.

Advanced processes that aim to modernize vital records for public health purposes such as interoperability, usability, and accessibility are needed. Projects that evaluate current state with primary outcomes description of future state and manuscript could be helpful to the field advancement.

Our IS Population Health team typically builds registries in 90 day cycles that complete the organizational needs and mission. These vary but require workflow, data cleaning/mapping, creation of metrics.
