Our very own James Marsh was quoted in the Washington Post this week in an article about engineering the gut microbiome to reduce methane emissions from cows:
“James Marsh, a professor of microbiome engineering at the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Germany, says that scientists are still in the early stages of applying genetic engineering to the entire microbiome. “We need to be able to apply it to all the organisms so we can really unleash the promise of microbial engineering,” he said.”
There is a long road ahead, but James and his team are making the necessary inroads. Stay tuned!
