Theoharis C Theoharides , is a Professor of Immunology and have been studying the regulation of mast cells and their role in allergic and inflammatory diseases for over 30 years. I was the first to report that mast cells can: (a) secrete specific mediators selectively without degranulation; (b) regulate blood-brain-barrier permeability; (c) be activated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) secreted under stress to release VEGF selectively; (d) be activated by synergistic action of CRH and neurotensin; (e) can be activated by IL-33 and substance P (SP) synergistically to secrete the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL1 and TNF; (f) secrete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) extracellularly that is mistaken by the body as a pathogen resulting in inflammatory reactions; (g) communicate with microglia and are involved in inflammation of the brain especially as they may relate to n the pathogenesis of Autism Spectrum Disorders, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Mastocytosis, diseases that are often comorbid and affect multiple organs without effective treatment. We have shown that secretion of mast cell mediators is inhibited by the natural flavonoids luteolin and methoxyluteolin. My laboratory has been committed to uncovering ways to regulate secretion of mast cell mediators for which there is no clinically effective drug since the only “mast cell blocker” cromolyn in weakly effective and shows rapid tachyphylaxis. I have published over 449 peer-reviewed papers (h-index 91) and have been placed in the top 5% of authors most cited in pharmacological and immunological journals. I, therefore, believe I am well qualified to contribute substantially to the proposed application.

A practicing physician in the field of healthcare in the state of Kerala in India for the last 30 years and very much interested in basic research. My interest is spread across the fever , inflammation and back pain,. I am a writer. I already printed and published nine books in these subjects. I wrote hundreds of articles in various magazines. After scientific studies we have developed 8000 affirmative cross checking questions. It can explain all queries related with fever When the disease becomes threat to life or organs blood circulation decreases, temperature of fever will emerge to increase prevailing blood circulation and it acts as a protective covering of the body to sustain life. When blood flow decreases to brain, the patient becomes fainted or delirious. If we try to decrease temperature of fever, the blood circulation will further get reduced. Blood circulation never increases without temperature increase. Delirious can never be cured without increase in blood circulation. The temperature of fever is not a surplus temperature, or it is not to be eliminated from the body. During fever, our body temperature increases like a brooding hen’s body temperature. The actual treatment of fever is to increase blood circulation. There are two ways to increase blood circulation: (1) Never allow body temperature to lose; (2) Apply heat from outside to the body

Dr. Tooba Mahboob is currently working as visiting research fellow at Walailak University, Her current research projects includes therapeutics for parasites, virus, bacteria by using natural products and in silico approaches.. She hascompleted her Postdoctoral research at Dept. of Medical Microbiology, University of Malaya. She has done her Ph. D in the field of Medicine from University of Malaya in 2018. She has expertise in natural products and novel drug delivery system particularly for the treatment of infectious diseases. Her work on amoebicidal agents and their novel drug delivery using nanotechnology creates new pathways for improving healthcare especially for infectious diseases. She has experienced in microbiology, cellular biology, molecular biology, cancer research, natural products and nanotechnology. She is one of the members of Southeast Asian water team as well as South-east Asian Natural product team. She has worked on immunological aspect of Flavivirus including Dengue, ZIKV by studying gene expression analysis. Her findings in the field of infectious diseases could provide an alternate treatment to combat the infectious diseases caused by pathogens. Research Interest: I have obtained 10 years research experience in dealing with microorganism which includes parasites, bacteria and viruses particularly Streptococcus pneumoniae, Acanthamoeba spp., Naegleria, Giardia, Crypto, Leishmania donovani, K. pnemoniae, P. aeruginosa, SARS-CoV-2, Dengue, HSV-1 and II and Zika. I have worked on microorganisms and their potential therapeutics from the natural products by antimicrobial assays as well as in silico analysis. The mode of action of the therapeutics were also studied by conducting various assays as DNA fragmentation etc. In addition, I have worked with drug delivery systems such as nanotechnology to improve the efficacy of drugs. I have worked on various primary as well as secondary cell lines which mainly includes brain cells, pulmonary, human colon cancer cells, lung epithelial cell line, VERO cells. Apart from that, I am a member of Southeast Asia water team and Southeast Asia natural product team. I have conducted numerous researches from Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Myanmar, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia for the analysis of water quality. Water research experience is mainly based on waterborne pathogens and toxicology. I have attended courses on basic and advanced immunology with emphasis on cell biology of immune system at University of Malaya, Malaysia. I am very much interested in protein docking study in bacterial cells, molecular expression cell biology, haemolytic activities and binding of peptides for my future research.

Mostafa Abotaleb: My PhD candidate in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning from South Ural State University, Russia, started in 2020. I'm a faculty member in the Computer Science department at South Ural State University. I then became a researcher engineer for Advanced Research in the department of System Programming at the University of South Ural. In 2021, I got a patent from the Russian Federation for developing a library for forecasting COVID-19 infection cases using R programming. I have many publications related to developing deep learning models and classical models to improve the forecast through minimizing the error of forecast. Now i design machine learning algorithms. and connected machine learning algorithms in the drone can perform some advanced tasks. My aim is to discover a learning procedure that is efficient at finding complex structures in large, high-dimensional datasets and to show that this is how the brain learns to and modelling infectious disease.
