The training webinar was a continuation of COMSTECH efforts to build member states’ capacity for management of plant genebanks, and the preservation and expansion of biodiversity. Prior to this, COMSTECH has constituted a multi-country Working Group on Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) and conducted several physical training workshops and consultative meetings in Islamabad (Pakistan) and Baku (Azerbaijan).

The present workshop was a follows up of the online Workshop on Development of National Gene Banks, organized by IOFS and COMSTECH during July 5-6, 2020. It was the first workshop of a 3-part series of regional workshops for the Asia, Africa and Middle East-North Africa (MENA) regions.

The objectives of this series of webinars are to build the capacity of OIC Member countries in the maintenance and operations of gene banks (collection of genetic materials, conservation, germplasm exchange policies), and to train the participants with international and national laws and policies on the subject. The webinar was also aimed to enhance networking among national gene banks of different countries, as effective international collaboration will help preserve biodiversity and ensure long-term agricultural sustainability and food security worldwide.

The opening session of the Workshop was addressed by the Coordinator General of COMSTECH Prof. M. Iqbal Choudhary and Director-General of IOFS Dr. Yerlan Baidaulet. Both the organisational Heads emphasized the importance of preservation of plant genetic resources in ensuring the food security of member states. It was observed that some of OIC member states were more developed than others in this field, and it was very important that the capacity of all states is developed by mutual cooperation.

The senior experts who contributed their experience and knowledge to this activity represented various leading PGR research institutions from Pakistan, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Tunisia, Oman, Malaysia, and Azerbaijan. The list of participating institutions included: the National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC), the National Genebank of Pakistan, the Kazakh Research Institute of Agriculture and Plant growing, the Natural and Medical Sciences Research Center at the University of Nizwa, Oman, the Biodiversity and Genetic Resources Department at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Turkey, the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI), the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS), and the National Genebank of Tunisia.

Abstract:

Cardiovascular diseases are major causes of mortality worldwide. A fixed-dose combination therapy—the so-called polypill—was proposed more than 15 years ago as an acceptable and cost-saving approach to reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Since then, different formulations of polypill have been used in several studies worldwide.

The research work of Prof. Reza (PolyIran Study) proposes a fixed-dose combination therapy (polypill strategy) as an approach to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The PolyIran study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of a four-component polypill including aspirin, atorvastatin, hydrochlorothiazide, and either enalapril or valsartan for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. This study is the first large-scale, long-term, pragmatic randomized trial to investigate the effects of a fixed-dose combination therapy on primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease

Target Audience:

The webinar is open to researchers, academicians, scientists and healthcare professionals from the OIC member states.

Abstract: As data science jargon has begun to flood into government, businesses, and social circles, navigating statistical information and tools can be an arduous and daunting task for policy makers. The rapid growth in the size and scope of data sets in a variety of disciplines have naturally led to the usage of the term, Big Data. The analysis of such data is important in multiple research fields such as engineering, social media networks, bioinformatics, personalized medicine, environmental, neuroscience, astronomy, nanoscience, and financial studies among others. There are many challenging questions. For example, how to acquire, manage, process, analyse, and make sense of big data? Clearly, big data is the future of research in a host disciplines, and trans-disciplinary programs are required to develop the skills for data scientists. For example, many security agencies are using sophisticated number-crunching, data mining, or big data analytics to reveal patterns in information provided by air carriers about passengers.

This presentation will guide the participants from the basics of big data analytics into a deeper discussion of how to handle unconventionally large data matrices in a multitude of applications. For example, genomics data is large and vast accounting for every gene in the body and every gene’s phenotypic expressions. The impact of genomic research for the healthcare industry of a country can be policy changing that benefit OIC.

Model selection, post-estimation, and prediction is imperative for anyone conducting an analysis. As we try to advance government and business practices, being able to predict financial, operational, transactional, etc. information is a lucrative skill. For example, many government-funded initiatives aim to provide appropriate advertisements for programs in their emails. In order to target these customers, the analytics team must collect and analyze the data to monitor consumer behaviour. Based on their customers’ history and demographics, the analytics team can predict and provide an appropriate email for the program.

But a prediction is only as good as its model. Bias in the model can cost a business to make ill-informed decisions. The bias is a systematic partiality that is present in the data collection and modelling process resulting in misleading results. Just how social biases can affect our personal decisions, statistical bias affects analytical modeling. It is important for policymakers and business professionals to understand the analytics done behind the scenes; it allows them to communicate results to key stakeholders with confidence. Implementing data centres that have statistical knowledge can benefit the economic health of an OIC.

Target Audience: This webinar is open to academicians, scientists, and general public from all the member OIC states and beyond.

Profile of the Speaker: Dr. S. Ejaz Ahmed is professor and Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Science.  He is an internationally known scholar, educator, and an accomplished researcher.
