As a result, potential solutions to this problem have become highly interdisciplinary. Notwithstanding, statistics and data science have become paramount in the quest for providing evidentiary based answers to a host of scientific problems associated with this novel virus. Among these problems are the issues of vaccine development, development of therapeutics, testing, contract tracing, forecasting, and inferential analysis. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The effects of the virus have varied greatly from country to country reflecting differences in data reporting, public health infrastructure, politics, economics, social contexts and the role of civil society.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This session will discuss specific statistical issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic and will bring together prominent researchers who will share their experiences from Israel to India to the US.<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SPEAKERS:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Danny Pfeffermann<\/strong><span class=\"Apple-tab-span\"> <\/span><br \/>Chief Statistician of Israel and Professor of Statistics<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\"> <\/span><br \/>Hebrew University of Jerusalem, ISRAEL &amp; University of Southampton, UK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bhramar Mukherjee<\/strong><span class=\"Apple-tab-span\"> <\/span><br \/>Chair<span class=\"Apple-tab-span\"> <\/span><br \/>Department of Biostatistics, University of Michigan, USA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daniel Diaz<\/strong><br \/>Research Assistant Professor<br \/>Division of Biostatistics, University of Miami, USA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeffrey S.
