Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the world. Why? Because it's difficult to detect in its early stages and hard to treat once it's discovered.

The Lung Cancer Initiative at Johnson & Johnson is working to reverse that trend.

And to do so, it needs not just doctors and researchers, but engineers.

Hannah McEwen is the head of engineering sciences for the group.

She recently sat down with Scientific American Custom Media to explain the role engineering can play

in transforming lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.

When one hears about the field of engineering, it's not always associated with medicine.

When Hannah McEwen started her engineering career, she did so thinking about possibilities

to apply the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering to biology and medicine

to ultimately improve health care.

If I go back to my early days, even back at my university, my undergrad, I really began

to fall in love with this idea that engineering can really be used to transform a patient's

health.

That love blossomed at her first internship, working on electronic devices to provide a sense

of sound to people who are

profoundly deaf or hard of hearing. She says those cochlear implants were a striking

example of how engineering can improve the quality of life. We apply physics and mechanics and
