Sherry Li stands with arms crossed in front of a whiteboard filled with complex mathematical equations, diagrams, and notes. The whiteboard includes various symbols, graphs, and annotations related to statistical models, including a hidden Markov model. The individual is dressed in a dark, long-sleeved top, and the background is a classroom or office setting, suggesting an academic or research environment. A key question in SARS-CoV-2 infection is why viral loads and patient outcomes are so different across individuals. Because it’s difficult to see how the virus spreads in the lungs of infected people, researchers developed SIMCoV, a computational model that simulates hundreds of millions of cells, including lung cells and immune cells.
