Michigan Technological University researchers pivoted to looking for ways to help fight COVID-19 early in the pandemic. They were able to quickly launch a sample testing lab, design a PPE sanitizer, launch PPE-building programs, and more within the first months. Those research programs and the testing lab have continued to develop through the summer and fall.
“We just tested this week our 21,000th sample,” said David Reed, MTU’s Vice President for Research.
