Translational Medicine Approach against the COVID-19 Pandemic 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

Urgent action is needed against the COVID-19 pandemic, as variants due to spike mutations and immune escape are spreading globally. A total of 6,357,751 deaths due to COVID-19 have been reported worldwide as of July 1, 2022. Vaccines are available to the public but are not sufficient to mitigate the pandemic. Translational medicine should play an important role in mitigating and ending the pandemic. This Special Issue presents data science results and strategies to mitigate and end the pandemic from the perspective of translational medicine.

Any research on how to mitigate the pandemic is welcome.
