In 1986, Amadou co-founded the UCLA AIDS Institute Virology Laboratory which he ran until 1996. While at UCLA, he collaborated with the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) on several projects including the standardization of quantitative culture techniques to measure viral load (VL) and the evaluation of experimental treatments on VL in HIV/AIDS patients as well. He also helped develop techniques for studying viral pathogenesis and tropism, while setting up training programs in basic virology laboratory techniques for post-doctoral and graduate students at the UCLA School of Medicine.


Amadou has co-authored several peer-reviewed papers published in journals such as Nature, AIDS, Journal of Infectious Diseases and the New England Journal of Medicine. He has also given oral and poster presentations at National, Regional and International HIV/AIDS conferences. He is also responsible for the isolation of JRCSF and JRFL ; two HIV viruses that have been characterized and are widely used in HIV research today.
