Monitoring oxygen status in Covid-19 patients: new and useful method

The institute has been engaged in several innovative, operational, educational, epidemiological, and translational researches along with some basic research in collaborations. A list of some of our recent and old peer reviewed publications are placed below to highlights our research activities. A list of some of our publications elaborates the claims. Most of these works been done without any support from outside and this remains a reason that the institute could not generate very high quality evidence in many important areas.
