The human microbiome is composed of a collection of dynamic microbial communities that inhabit various anatomical locations in the body. Accordingly, the coevolution of the microbiome with the host has resulted in these communities playing a profound role in promoting human health. Consequently, perturbations in the human microbiome can cause or exacerbate several diseases. In this Review, we present our current understanding of the relationship between human health and disease development, focusing on the microbiomes found across the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems as well as the skin. We further discuss various strategies by which the composition and function of the human microbiome can be modulated to exert a therapeutic effect on the host. Finally, we examine technologies such as multiomics approaches and cellular reprogramming of microbes that can enable significant advancements in microbiome research and engineering.

Consistently ranked as one of the best engineering schools in the country for both academics and career preparation by U.S. News & World Report, Purdue is known for equipping graduates with leadership characteristics and technical proficiency. In Indianapolis, students are enrolled from day one in the specific degree-granting major of their choice.


Mangilal Agarwal is a professor of informatics and director of the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute at IU Indianapolis. He directs the development of interdisciplinary research and education initiatives, with a focus on nanosystems for biomedical and energy applications.


Agarwal received his M.S. and Ph.D. in engineering from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana. After his Ph.D., he was a postdoctoral research associate at the Institute for Micromanufacturing. He joined IU Indianapolis in 2009 as the associate director for research development in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research.

If you have any questions regarding the Product Management affinity group and/or would like to collaborate or chat more, feel free to reach out to Daksh at daksh_a...@berkeley.edu!


Professor Agrawal is currently involved in structural control systems research, such as passive dampers, tuned mass dampers, active/hybrid and semi-active control systems, have been widely accepted as effective means for protection of civil engineering structures against earthquakes and wind loads. While many structural control devices and control algorithms have been proposed for such applications, a systematic study to investigate advantages and disadvantages of these devices and algorithms is yet to be conducted. The objectives of benchmark studies are to make direct comparisons between performance of devices and algorithms using a particular benchmark structure, a set of external excitations and a set of performance criteria. Such studies are important for successful development of structural control devices and algorithms, and resolve issues that are critical in practical applications of structural control systems.


Shradha Agarwal performed her PhD thesis in nuclear material science from the French Commission of Atomic and Alternative Energies (CEA), Saclay, France in 2014. Her dissertation was on the study of helium mobility and its effects on the microstructure/physical properties of different advanced ultra-high temperature ceramics (TiC, ZrC and TiN), for their possible use in BISO (Bi-structural isotropic)/TRISO (Tri-structural isotropic) fuel forms for Gen. IV reactors.


In 2015, she joined Tata Steel R&D in the UK as a staff scientist where she worked on various steel metallurgy industrial research projects, including initiating and leading the project on graphene-oxide coated and strengthened steels. She also lead the project on steels for energy applications in the UK while at Tata Steel.


In 2017, she returned to academics and joined the department of material science and engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Her current work focuses on two projects : (i) understanding radiation tolerance of SiC based accident tolerant fuel (ATF) claddings for Light Water Reactors (LWR) and (ii) neutron irradiation behavior of novel materials like TiC for nuclear structural applications.


She extensively collaborates with Low Activation Materials Development and Analysis (LAMDA) laboratory at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and various ORNL scientists, University of Kyoto, Japan, and CEA-Saclay, France, for her research.


Going into the fall of her sophomore year, Aggarwal was ready to declare her major in materials science and engineering. She had done research in a chemistry lab at Rice University during high school, and loved the solid state chemistry class she took during her freshman year.


Voltage aims to bring students, alumni, and faculty together for interactions around research and coursework. A subcommittee of the MIT IEEE/ACM Club, Voltage started with study breaks where students could meet, find out who was in their classes, and learn about courses. Since then they have planned bigger events, including two research expos where faculty showcased their work to help students find research opportunities.


Aggarwal and Voltage have also been working to inspire more students to study electrical engineering. In the fall of 2015 they hosted the Electrical Engineering Expo with EECS, which connected students with electrical engineering internships and research opportunities.


Roma Agrawal MBE FICE HonFREng is an Indian-British chartered structural engineer based in London. She has worked on several major engineering projects, including the Shard. Agrawal is also an author and a diversity campaigner, championing women in engineering.


Agrawal was born in 1983 in Mumbai, India, before moving to London.[1] She also lived in Ithaca, New York for five years.[2] She completed her A-Levels at North London Collegiate School. In 2004, she gained a BA in physics from the University of Oxford, and in 2005, an MSc in Structural Engineering from Imperial College London.


Agrawal attributes her enthusiasm for engineering to her love of making (and breaking) things, cultivated by playing with Lego as a child.[3] Agrawal attributes her entry into engineering to a summer placement at the Oxford Physics Department where she worked alongside engineers who were designing particle detectors for CERN.[4]


Alongside the Shard, Agrawal worked on Crystal Palace Station and the Northumbria University Footbridge.[citation needed] She worked for WSP for ten years before joining Interserve as a Design Manager in November 2015.[9] In May 2017, Agrawal joined AECOM as an associate director.[10]


In 2018 Agrawal was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE).[11] She was appointed a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 2018 [citation needed] and elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2021 [12]


Following her six years working on The Shard, Agrawal found herself presenting on her work to children at school and students at university and found a passion for raising awareness of engineering.[18] She has since presented to over 15,000 people worldwide.[citation needed]


Agrawal's career has been covered extensively in both online and print media.[19] She was a founding member of the Your Life Campaign, designed to change school children's perception of science and engineering backed by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills.[20]


In 2014, she was part of Marks and Spencer's Leading Ladies campaign, alongside Annie Lennox, Emma Thompson and Rita Ora.[21] Later that year, she was chosen as one of six women engineers to follow on Twitter by The Guardian.[22] She has given two TEDx talks, "City 2.0" (2013)[23] and "Three Moments that will Change the World" (2015).[24] She has featured on several BBC, Channel 4, and Science Channel television programs. Since 2017, she has appeared as a judge on the Channel 4 reality programme Lego Masters[25] and as a structural engineer expert on Mysteries of the Abandoned.[26] She judged the trophy design competition for the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering in 2015 and 2017.[citation needed]
