Jessica Conway

Jessica Conway is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Penn State University, specializing in mathematical biology and infectious disease dynamics. She is affiliated with the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics (CIDD) and the Center for Mathematical Biology.

Research Interests: Her work focuses on modeling viral infection dynamics, particularly HIV/SIV and SARS-CoV-2, with an emphasis on treatment optimization, immune responses, and disease control. Key areas include antiretroviral therapy, vaccine efficacy, and intracellular processes in virus modeling.

Publication Trends: Her research spans viral kinetics, drug synergy, and ecological modeling, with recent studies on HIV rebound, antibiotic combinations, and SARS-CoV-2 dynamics. Collaborations often involve immunologists, virologists, and computational biologists.

News Contributions: Her 2021 study highlighted increased mortality during outbreaks when healthcare workers fall ill, and her 2019 workshop addressed immune memory in humans.
