Researchers at PNNL are pursuing new approaches to understand, predict and control the phenome—the collection of biological traits within an organism shaped by its genes and interactions with the environment.

By combining computational modeling with experimental research, scientists identified a promising composition that reduces the need for a critical material in an alloy that can withstand extreme environments.

A team of researchers recently coordinated a series of international workshops aimed at enhancing chemical research security and fostering collaboration among scientists and academic researchers from both countries.

PNNL researchers have developed a new, physics-informed machine learning model that accurately predicts how heat accumulates and dissipates during friction stir processing.

Senior Advisor Isabella van Rooyen shares her journey from child to internationally recognized scientist in nuclear materials and manufacturing.

PNNL scientists took thousands of measurements of firefighters in training to learn more about how the body responds to vigorous exercise.

PNNL researchers helped design and conduct an international exercise hosted by the Ministry of Finance of Finland to help improve financial sector resilience.

This study profiled the 24-hour rhythmicity in bile salt hydrolase enzyme activity using simple fluorescence assay and the results showed that this rhythmicity is influenced by feeding patterns of the host.

New research from PNNL and Washington State University collaborators connects the microbiome in the gut to circadian rhythms, suggesting a role for the microbiome as an internal regulator.

Karen Taylor was an invited speaker at the Closing the Knowledge Gaps event and spoke during a panel, titled Bioeconomy Workforce Demands.

PNNL Biomedical Scientist Geremy Clair has taken on new roles as an editor for two journals; Frontiers In Cellular And Infection Microbiology and Frontiers In Molecular Biosciences.

A new, state-of-the-art training facility in Larnaca, Cyprus provides unique training opportunities for border security officials from partner nations.
