Doubling time is an important concept in many life sciences and in epidemiology, in particular: It refers to the length of time required for some quantity to double in size. It is commonly used to refer to human population size, but it is also used to describe, for instance, growth of viral counts or antigens, tumors, and the number of cases of a particular disease.
