We have huge developments in protein-based medicines courtesy of researchers at Pennsylvania State University. The Penn State team developed a new oil-based drug formulation which does not degrade with increases in temperature. Protein-based drugs are traditionally prepared in a water-based formulation. This new research could potentially be applied to insulin, certain antibodies, and viral vaccines, reducing the need for these items to be kept so...

Considering that the best supply chain is invisible to consumers, 2020 will be remembered as the year the supply chain became a primary focus of the world. It also was a common topic of conversation within households, as shoppers began encountering empty shelves where they expected to find toilet paper, milk, and disinfectant wipes. 

Within the industry and beyond, it has become clear the supply chain lacks the unity, visibility, and agility...
