Labs, distribution centers and whiteboard scribbles are just a few of the places innovative solutions come to life. We tell stories about these places and the faces behind them. Stories highlight the people behind scientific advances. Some showcase technology that revolutionizes day-to-day operations. Others feature the makings of out-of-the-box solutions. Through stories, we shine a light on how our work — and the work of our customers and partners — advances science.
A lot more goes into packaging than you might think. We unpack some ways that your deliveries are getting greener.
For Danielle Chavis, combining her dual passions of teaching and service helps make work deeply fulfilling.
Before the new AI-powered drug discovery platform hit the market, it took trials, tribulations and a napkin.
Motivated by someone close to her, Dr. Samira Bührer designed and brought leprosy rapid tests into communities across Brazil with the support of MilliporeSigma.
As a co-lead of the Black Leadership Network, Wege creates a welcoming environment at his site and builds community across MilliporeSigma.
As co-lead of the Black Leadership Network, Chevon Adams values building connections with colleagues and giving back to her community.
3D printing allows drug manufacturing to create personalized tablets rather than make a few billion of the same pills. Meet one scientist who’s driving the field forward.
Thirty years ago, she learned how to culture cells. Ever since she's helped customers sort out what's causing issues in their cell cultures.
Two chemists working in different settings bring a greener lens to the bench and empower others to do the same.
Dr. Paula Shively, a longtime technical service expert, guides scientists through challenging moments in the lab. A decade later, she vividly remembers one conversation.
There's more (science) behind the word “mRNA” — from custom lipids to specialized manufacturing processes.
Designing and building the right spaceship (lipid nanoparticle) for the astronaut (mRNA) takes teamwork and some failed attempts.
Creating a lipid nanoparticle takes multiple lipids, some of which are highly specialized to the task at hand and manufactured by Haag’s team.
To optimize the process of creating custom mRNA and lipid nanoparticles Mehta asks some “out there” questions.
The pivot from very small quantities of mRNA vaccines or therapeutics to large-scale production isn't trivial.
In order to shrink the timeline from idea to final RNA-based therapeutic, scientists need to figure out a faster way to identify viable carrier systems.
Developing more durable films and, ultimately, more resilient single-use bags took years of careful tinkering, testing and tinkering with testing.
Andrew License relishes connecting with customers, which recently includes more LGBTQIA+ scientists and allies — an evolution that brings deeper meaning to his day-to-day work.
André found comfort in sharing his identity at work and now helps to ensure that colleagues — near and far — receive support too.
Danielle Bartz, a PhD researcher at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, spends a lot of time on boats to determine whether scalloped hammerhead sharks still call Hilo Bay home.
With sights set on finding someone to eventually take her spot at the bench, a quality control chemist commits to connecting youth with science.
Glass vials and beakers are molded by mass production, but customized scientific glassware is handcrafted and repaired by highly-trained scientific glassblowers in a process filled with sparks, pops and tense moments.
