NYMC Students Distribute Masks and Good Will with the Mask Transit Project
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and medical student clinical rotations were canceled, Shreya Makkapati, School of Medicine (SOM) Class 2021, knew she wanted to continue some form of patient care. That opportunity arose in early April when she was approached by Aishwarya Raja, a medical student at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, whom she met through a group for Indian females in medicine. Ms. Raja is a founder of Mask Transit, a grassroots organization that distributes masks and educational material about mask hygiene to vulnerable populations -- populations Ms. Makkapati cared for during most of her third-year clerkships. Read the full article on the Mask Transit and view the photo gallery.

NYMC Receives $594K NIH Shared Instrumentation Grant
The collaborative efforts by a team of New York Medical College (NYMC) faculty researchers from across all of the basic science disciplines have paid off to the tune of nearly $594,269. The grant proposal team made up of nearly 20 NYMC faculty and led by Dana G. Mordue, Ph.D., associate professor of microbiology and immunology, secured a Shared Instrumentation Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which will be used to purchase a new high-resolution confocal microscope. This new microscope will be critical to the College's biomedical research. The confocal system will allow NYMC's researchers to quantitatively visualize dynamic processes in living specimens gently over extended periods of time (4D imaging). The increased sensitivity and high resolution will be particularly valuable to image thicker tissue sections/slices in a wide variety of biological specimens. Read the full article on the NIH grant.
