Other Projects
Ampli Space Pharmacy
Launched to the International Space Station on March 14th, 2023, Mission SpaceX CRS-27.
As part of the AmpliRx Space Pharmacy mission, 60 inaugural experiments were launched to the International Space Station to explore distributed manufacturing of biomaterials and life-saving medications. Leveraging the unique constraints of the space environment, our goal was to reimagine sustainable, low-carbon pathways for drug manufacturing that could improve global access to medicines.
My contributions included designing and conducting experiments in chemical synthesis and verification, optimizing microfluidic systems, streamlining data analysis workflows, and contributing to engineering design solutions.
Watch the rocket launch!
Honduran Newspaper
My project mentor, Jose Gomez Marquez, and I were featured in Diario La Tribuna, a newspaper from our home country, Honduras!
