COVGEN Staff
The CovGen study aims to identify the risk factors associated with the increased severity of COVID-19 and the Long Covid phenomenon involving our Malaysian patients. Additional research will help us confirm if these are risk factors for severe COVID-19 illness and determine if other factors increase a person’s risk. We will develop a risk factor scoring system that can manage COVID-19 cases by reducing death cases and long-term complications using these data.
Following is the list of personnel involved in either research design or implementation for the CovGen study:
