Diagnosis and Analysis of COVID-19 using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-Based Techniques

Dr. M.S Badar, MS, PhD served as a Teaching Faculty in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of California, Riverside, CA, USA. He graduated with an MS degree in Molecular Science and Nanotechnology and Ph.D. in Engineering from Louisiana Tech University Ruston, LA, USA, respectively. Dr. Badar has over 14 years of teaching, research, and industry experience. He has authored a chapter in a book about Machine Learning and Molecular Modeling. He has developed an algorithm for Face Detection, Recognition, and Emotion Recognition. He has developed a device that, by using a Biosensor, can correlate the physiology of the human body with the emotion recognition algorithm, giving us an accurate measurement of stress hormones in the body. His group is developing an ML Model which predicts Covid infection based on the severity of symptoms (mild, moderate, and severe) and if they have had contact with a Covid patient. Professor Nima Rezaei gained his medical degree (MD) from Tehran University of Medical Sciences and subsequently obtained an MSc in Molecular and Genetic Medicine and a PhD in Clinical Immunology and Human Genetics from the University of Sheffield, UK. He also spent a short-term fellowship of Pediatric Clinical Immunology and Bone Marrow Transplantation in the Newcastle General Hospital. Professor Rezaei is now the Full Professor of Immunology and Vice Dean of Research, School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and the co-founder and Head of the Research Center for Immunodeficiencies. He is also the founding President of the Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN). Professor Rezaei has already been the Director of more than 55 research projects and has designed and participated in several international collaborative projects. Professor Rezaei is an editorial assistant or board member for more than 30 international journals. He has edited more than 35 international books, has presented more than 500 lectures/posters in congresses/meetings, and has published more than 1,000 scientific papers in the international journals. Dr. Imtiyaz Hassan is another bioinformatician from India who is currently working as an Assistant Professor at a Premier Central University, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), New Delhi. He has completed his Ph.D. from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). He was ranked 6 on the list of best Bioinformaticians in India. He was also appointed as a Postdoctoral fellow at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, USA. He has published more than 70 research articles in reputed international journals and has been serving as an Editorial Board Member of Journal of Protein and Proteomics, Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine and many other journals. His thrust area of research is structure-based drug designing aimed to identify novel therapeutic agents. His research group is dedicated to understanding the structure-function relationships and try to develop methods to determine, analyze and exploit the structure of proteins and their complexes. Currently, he is involved in developing potential inhibitors against cancer and diabetes, and search to find anti-obesity agents in humans.
