Researchers from the University of Florida (UF) are making use of the funding from the school to assist in resolving the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. All around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has become a never-ending challenge as new variants keep taking over as the previous ones die down. This is making the whole trend of the pandemic unpredictable and healthcare professionals and researchers want to dig deeper into the pandemic which has gripped the entire world over the past two years. The virus is always one step ahead, and whenever it feels like it's under control a new wave takes over which is more severe and contagious. The research team is all geared up to create an AI algorithm to track the virus and calculate new variants with precision. Publicly available global data will be leveraged to train the AI algorithm on the genetic structure of the virus.
