Montana State researchers collaborate with Nature’s Fynd to send microbe to space to test as astronaut food
By Marshall Swearingen, MSU News Service
July 15, 2022
When future astronauts heading to Mars sit down to a hearty supper in their spaceship, they may dine on a nutritious, meat-like product made from a microbe that Montana State University scientists discovered in a Yellowstone National Park hot spring. On July 11, a group of small bioreactors arrived at the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX rocket to test how well the Yellowstone microbe can be grown in an environment similar to what would be experienced during long-duration space travel.
|
|
|
Discovered in 2009 by then-MSU doctoral student Mark Kozubal when he was sampling microbes in a Yellowstone geyser basin, the fungus called Fusarium strain flavolapis can be grown into thick mats with meaty texture on porous membranes using only small amounts of liquid nutrient solution, according to Carlson. Kozubal went on to start a company, now called Nature’s Fynd, that produces the fungi protein commercially. "It's very efficient in terms of volume, weight, water and energy," which makes the microbe an ideal candidate for producing space food, said Carlson, who is working with Nature’s Fynd on the space test.

Cynthia Tsai: Transformational Global Leader of the Year
From Exeleon Magazine
August 9, 2022
In this modern, ever-growing competitive era, most businesses tend to overlook one of the most significant aspects of their organization i.e., the people. Without question, they are the foundation of any business and carry the potential to take it to the zenith of success. While it is simple to attach this ideology to a business’s employees, it also holds immense value with respect to the world leaders who forge vital partnerships, pave the way for innovation, and advance the industry.
Successful world leaders genuinely understand this notion and believe in the idea of collective growth. In fact, it is one of the key factors that distinguishes successful entrepreneurs from their counterparts — their ability to delegate things, adapt to different scenarios, always be on the learning edge, and do multiple things at once. This characteristic is as true for those who are starting their entrepreneurial journey and for those who lead at the global level.
Cynthia Tsai, CEO of Tana Systems & Healthquest, stands out as a global leader who believes that the road to excellent global leadership cements on forming personal connections with the people along with a personal commitment to exploration and curiosity. In her dictionary, extraordinary global leaders are humble, recognize the contribution of others, value time, and most importantly, develop and use keen intuition.

What’s hot in life sciences? Bio International Convention looks at what’s next as pandemic recedes
Event draws about 3,000 companies to the San Diego Convention Center to take stock of the latest trends and research.
By Mike Freeman
June 13, 2022
It’s no secret that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the global life sciences industry shined. It ramped up development of everything from diagnostic tests to new vaccines — including two based on previously unproven messenger RNA technology —all within months instead of years.
At the Bio International Convention this week at the San Diego Convention Center, the industry took stock of those accomplishments, as well as asked what’s next now that the pandemic has entered an endemic phase.
Can messenger RNA — the technology underpinning vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech — be made durable and effective enough to treat other diseases beyond COVID?
“What we now have is data on billions of people” who have received mRNA vaccines, said Kathy Fernando, head of mRNA strategy at Pfizer. “I think that is going to open the floodgates for mRNA.”

Medical Technology Start-ups Get a Critical Boost Via “America’s Seed Fund”
Small Business
May 11, 2022
The federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs offer a lifeline to small medical technology companies that otherwise would not be able to secure the initial funding necessary for expensive research and development.
The programs support scientific development and product innovation benefiting patients in need and the public at large. They also spur growth in the U.S. and local economies by helping small businesses implement their groundbreaking ideas.
Start-up medical technology makers are among the innovators nationwide who compete for SBIR and STTR program grants. Some of today’s biggest medical technology companies started as yesterday’s start-ups. They might not have succeeded in developing their life-saving, life-enhancing products without critical early funding from what’s called “America’s Seed Fund.”
The legislative authorization for these initiatives is set to expire September 30, 2022. Congress has long given them strong bipartisan support. Read more about how the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs help bring innovative medical technology to life.

America can’t get caught flat-footed on pandemics again
By Seth Lederman
June 18, 2022 4:04 am
How did the United States, a global superpower, get caught so flatfooted when the COVID-19 pandemic hit?
A big reason was sleeping through the decline of domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing, allowing most development and manufacturing capabilities and jobs to leave the U.S. for foreign countries. The economics of globalization pushed the hands-on, bricks-and-mortar type biotech work to countries with lower taxes, lower wages and less oversight of environmental and safety concerns. However, the pandemic showed that globalism has limits to its utility in the face of a crisis.
That the pandemic exposed these vulnerabilities to our enemies makes it even more urgent that we prepare for the next pandemic or biowarfare attack that could lead the world to close borders and shatter supply chains. The U.S. is especially vulnerable because we are so dependent upon globally integrated supply chains. Historically, the production of medicines and vaccines for the U.S. population was domestically based. America had a robust industrial policy that led to our becoming the world’s manufacturing powerhouse during World War II. However, in recent decades, pharmaceutical manufacturing was largely shipped overseas. Companies moved manufacturing to locations with tax incentives, such as Ireland, or countries that had cheaper labor and lax environmental laws, such as India and China. Moving high-tech jobs offshore also decreased the opportunities for our domestic STEM-educated workers to work and live here in the U.S.
