Features

Human Health is Bound to Microbiomes

Our microscopic surroundings have come into focus, but for all the wrong reasons, sadly, as we scrub hands, sanitize door handles, and don masks to protect ourselves from an unseen foe.

Engineering Gut Bacteria as Living Therapeutics

Microbes found in our intestines hold great promise as tools to treat human diseases. Genetically engineering gut bacteria is a unique strategy to design controlled and effective living therapeutics.

Developing Precision Microbiome Medicines

Large-scale sampling of patient microbiomes is giving one organization the tools to correlate microbiome composition with immune health, driving the deployment of safe, live biotherapeutic treatments for cancer and COVID-19.

Leveraging Bugs as Drugs

Manufacturers must overcome unique challenges to produce effective microbe-based therapies at scale.

Unraveling Plant and Soil Microbiomes

Harnessing soil microbiomes may be the key to meeting global food demands and revitalizing soil health. However, new tools are needed to understand and unlock their potential.

Building Water Resiliency at Hydrocarbon Processing Facilities

Use these strategies to manage and treat water sources for reuse within evaporative cooling towers.

Optimize the Use of Flow Additives

Optimally blend flow additives to improve manufacturing efficiency and transform the performance of commercial products.

Departments

Advanced Manufacturing Progress: Strengthening U.S. Manufacturing through Service, Analytics, and Education

In my August 2020 column “Rethinking Domestic Supply Chains,” I discussed efforts by various Manufacturing USA institutes to upgrade manufacturing practices and develop more-resilient supply chains.

Catalyzing Commercialization: With Self-Erasing Ink, Paper Does not have to be Disposable

Paper waste contributes to climate change more than most people realize. The carbon footprint of producing, transporting, and disposing 12 sheets of paper is equivalent to driving one mile in a gasoline-powered car.

Editorial: Going with Your Gut

Four years ago, I wrote an editorial entitled “To Trust or Not To Trust (Your Gut)?” (Oct. 2016, p. 3), which discussed intuition and the gut feeling we get when we know something is right but are not able to articulate why.
