Summary

Technological advancements are enabling new opportunities in the membranes market. Recent research on membrane proteins showed a better way for drug development and testing. At University of Arkansas, scientists analyzed a membrane protein that can separate drugs from cell, allowing contribution to drug resistance. Membrane fouling has always been a challenge. Researches are showing advancements here too to overcome the fouling problem. At New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), scientists developed a reactive membrane system that has ability to degrade emerging pollutant and reduce fouling.
