Objective/Contributions: Prolonged daily periods of road traffic congestion waste time, and money, and degrade both the environment and our quality of life. In Egypt, the problem is significant with severe traffic delays and high accident rates leading to devastating effects on economic growth and challenging any progression towards sustainable development. Conventional traffic management

Objective/Contributions: The subsidy is a strategic service in Emerging countries like Egypt; it makes available essential items to poor people at discounted prices, as they are unable to purchase such items or services at their market price. The subsidy is always a hot topic that floats every year with the preparation of any annual government budget in Egypt. Subsidy remains a major burden for

Objective/Contributions: Smart agricultural clinic (SAC) aims to: 1) Provide an integrated end-to-end digital system to effectively deliver personalized agriculture extension and veterinary services, including best cultivation, fertilization and breeding practices, to farmers and animal producers through the use of mobile/handheld devices. 2) Use advanced computer vision and deep learning

Objective/Contributions: One of the main challenges of early detection of key rice blast disease is that it can be misclassified as the brown spot disease by less experienced agriculture extension officers (as both are fungal diseases and have similar appearances in their early stages) which can lead to wrong treatment. Given the current scarcity of experienced extension officers in the country

Few diseases affect human life and personal destinies more than the loss of the ability to see. In adults, visual impairment is associated with a loss of personal independence inducing large personal and societal costs. According to the World Health Organization, 39 million people are legally blind. In Egypt, there are almost 1 million individuals (~1% of the population) with sight loss. The

Objective/Contributions: 16S microbial profiling came with its own challenges, particularly on the data analysis and interpretation part. This requires specialized bioinformatics solutions at different stages during the processing pipeline, such as assembly of paired-end reads, chimera removal, correction of sequencing errors, and clustering of those sequences into Operational Taxonomic Units

Objective/Contributions: This project aims mainly to find the distant genetic relationship between the Egyptian population and other populations worldwide for the genes associated with the 4 metabolic diseases ( Diabetes, Obesity, Hypertension, and Hyperlipidemia). First, we started by collecting data related to Diabetes and its relation to the other diseases from the 1k genome project. Our aim in

Objective/Contributions: Cancer is treatable if it is discovered at an early stage, and lung cancer screening is a critical component in a preventive care protocol. Although CT imaging affords higher spatial resolution and 3D density information than digital chest X-rays, there are still limitations to having it as a cheap and fast method for rural areas outreach. These limitations are outlined in

Objective/Contributions: Statistics play a crucial role in the overall development policy-making process of countries by providing evidence for setting objectives, targets and priorities. The issue of great concern, however, has been how to collect data easily, cost-effectively and in a manner that allows easy data management, cleaning and analysis. Currently, manual paper-based data collection

Objective/Contributions: The amount and types of raw data generated within the agriculture domain are dramatically growing. However, these raw data in themselves are meaningless and isolated, and therefore may offer little value to the farmer. The Agricultural Research Center (ARC)and the Central Lab for Agricultural Expert Systems (CLAES) was established to enhance the productivity of knowledge
