As scientists all over the world are doing their best to contain the Covid19 pandemic, the Indian academic establishment too has stepped up at institutional and individual level. Here we attempt to build a consolidated list of initiatives by the Indian academia.
Most of the scientific research in this matter can be categorized as follows:
1. Treatment: Design of drugs, vaccines etc
2. Diagnosis: Design of testing equipment, methods for radiology/medical image analysis etc
3. Protection: Design of protective equipment like masks, sanitizers etc
4. Tracking and contact-tracing: Development of apps or equipment to record movement and contact history of individuals
5. Epidemiology: Modeling and analysis of disease spread, to forecast the effects of various interventions
6. Social simulation: Modeling the impacts of the pandemic and containment policies on the society.
