Major Achievements

Students in AMP3 Program

In all, UDC, Howard University, Morgan, and Lincoln University has engaged 43 students in AMP3 related research activities. These students have submitted their Internal Review Board (IRB) consent form to participate in the AMP3 consortium learning activities. UDC has 14 students, HU has 10 students, MSU has 5 students, and LU has 14 students.

Publications (students’ contribution)

To make the activities of AMP3 generally known, 4 peer reviewed publications were done. Three of these peer reviewed publications were co-authored by AMP3 students. The publications are presented below:

Other Key Developments

Development of Personal Protective Gears

AMP3 students Wondwosen Demisse, Gian Carlo D’Orazio, and Jamie Rios worked under Dr. Pawan Tyagi and Dr. Devdas Shetty to solve the issue of shortage of personal protective gears in the initial stage of COVID-19 spread. AMP3 team transformed their home and apartment into a production unit to run 3D printers around the clock and produce over 1000 face shields.
