Aquaporin, led by CEO Matt Boczkowski, is at the forefront of integrating biotechnology with water treatment. The company's journey began with the Nobel Prize-winning research of Peter Agre on aquaporins, which inspired Aquaporin to develop membranes that mimic these natural water channels. Initially focusing on forward osmosis due to its natural alignment with aquaporin proteins, the company has since expanded into reverse osmosis to tap into established markets and ensure revenue growth.Aquaporin's strategic shift from a primarily residential revenue base to a balanced residential and industrial mix reflects its adaptive market approach. High-profile partnerships with companies like Gallo and Philips underscore Aquaporin's innovative edge and market credibility. The collaboration with PUB in Singapore to create energy-efficient reverse osmosis membranes exemplifies the company's commitment to addressing global water challenges through cutting-edge technology.The company's branding, inspired by the fashion industry, sets it apart in the traditionally conservative water sector. This unique approach not only enhances Aquaporin's market presence but also resonates with consumers and industrial clients alike. Despite the challenges of being a publicly listed company, including the need for financial transparency and rigorous compliance, Aquaporin leverages its public status to secure significant partnerships and investments.Aquaporin's focus on niche applications for forward osmosis, such as wine concentration and lithium extraction, demonstrates a strategic approach to market penetration. By concentrating on specific, high-potential sectors, Aquaporin aims to create impactful solutions that can scale effectively. The company's commitment to innovation and strategic growth is evident in its diverse product portfolio and ongoing efforts to develop new applications for its technology.Looking ahead, Aquaporin aims to achieve profitability within the next few years, balancing growth with financial sustainability.

In this episode of POFA, we discuss the a groundbreaking malaria vaccine and its potential effects on the developing world with Nobel Laureate Dr. Peter Agre. Africa has long been plagued by malaria — each year, the disease kills nearly 300,000 African children under 5 years old. But on October 6, the W.H.O. approved the … Continue reading The Promise of the Malaria Vaccine

Every year, the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute hosts its Future of Malaria Research Symposium. It highlights the work of younger scientists, giving them the chance to 'run the show'. This podcast is a conversation between this year's keynote speaker, Etienne Bilgo, and director of the Malaria Research Institute, Peter Agre. Listen to hear their reflections on where we are in the fight against malaria, and what to expect from the symposium this Friday, November 12th.

The world's first-ever malaria vaccine is recommended for widespread use among children by the WHO. Transcript The world's first-ever malaria vaccine has this week been recommended for widespread use among children by the WHO. Thirty years in the making, RTS,S offers around 40% protection from P. falciparum malaria, and around 30% protection from the severe form of the disease. Though not a ‘magic bullet', the use of the vaccine in sub-Saharan Africa and other regions with moderate-to-high malaria transmission could see tens of thousands of lives saved each year. The vaccine is safe, well-tolerated and highly cost-effective. Reacting to what amounts to a major policy announcement is Peter Agre, Director of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute: “It is a momentous day for science. This first malaria vaccine, thirty years in the making, was created by the collective and persistent effort of many people globally. The vaccine will not put an end to all deaths, yet it is a major advance that will save lives, save children.” Source WHO recommends groundbreaking malaria vaccine for children at risk About The Podcast The Johns Hopkins Malaria Minute podcast is produced by the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute to highlight impactful malaria research and to share it with the global community.

Peter Agre tells the story of how he came to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2003 for his groundbreaking discovery of the aquaporin protein. The thread between this discovery and Aquaporin's nature-based technology is explained by CEO Peter Holme Jensen who also uncovers how Aquaporin uses biomimicry to contribute to a more sustainable future in water treatment.

Oh my giddy aunt, will you look at that, we have reached 52 episodes! Wow, you like us, you really do, thank you. Even more surprising is the fact that we haven’t had the ‘Mericans come busting through our doors looking for fossil fuels, erm, I mean terrorists etc. We have an amazing episode for you this week, starting with DINOSAURS!!! That’s right folks, dinosaurs, and the feather that covered them. It is much more interesting than you might think learning about the α and β keratins that make things such as hair, claws, horns, and feathers. This is combined with a look at some amazingly huge pterosaurs, namely the Quetzalcoatlus Northropi. A dinosaur the size of a small plane that could fly for days at speeds of 140-160 miles per hour, perfect for the get-away on the weekend and avoiding traffic. After this we are faced with news from Star Trek regarding Piccard no longer being a Captain, so grab your cup of Earl Grey Hot and strap in for this as it is amazing, particularly when we try to combine Doctor Who, Star Trek and James Bond into one movie or series. That’s right folks we have tried to combine three of the greatest franchises together this week. After this head exploding drama we look at the absolute mayhem and devastation that is the Metro Exodus leaving Steam debacle. It is such a disaster that you could be forgiven for thinking that we have visited a sewage treatment plant, and trust me plenty of that is hitting the fan over this. After this roller coaster ride we look at games such as Stardew Valley, Elder Scrolls Online and the fact that the DJ is still lonely in Fallout 76. So please, sit back and sip your cup of Earl Grey Hot as we take you on a journey through these topics. As always we would love to hear from you so feel free to drop us a line. As always stay safe, look out for each other and drink lots of water, thank you, so long and farewell.EPISODE NOTES:Fossil Feathers reveal- https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/01/fossil-feathers-reveal-how-dinosaurs-took-flight- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuetzalcoatlusJean Luc Picard - https://comicbook.com/startrek/2019/01/27/star-trek-new-picard-series-no-longer-captain/Metro Exodus leaves Steam - https://www.gamespot.com/articles/valve-decries-unfair-decision-as-metro-exodus-leav/1100-6464623/Games currently playingBuck– Elder Scrolls Online - https://store.steampowered.com/app/306130/The_Elder_Scrolls_Online/Professor– Stardew Valley - https://store.steampowered.com/app/413150/Stardew_Valley/DJ– Fallout 76 - https://fallout.bethesda.net/Other topics discussedJurassic Park the movie- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Park_(film)Dinosaurs featured in Jurassic ParkUtahraptor - https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wiki/UtahraptorVelociraptor - https://jurassicpark.fandom.com/wiki/VelociraptorDinotopia the book series- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DinotopiaSkybax – Creature in Dinotopia- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkybaxStegosaurus- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StegosaurusAnkylosaurs- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnkylosaurusWilliam Riker (Star Trek character)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_RikerChristopher Pike (Star Trek Character)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Pike_(Star_Trek)Leonard “Bones” McCoy (Star Trek Character)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_McCoyMontgomery "Scotty" Scott (Star Trek Character)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotty_(Star_Trek)Star Trek Discovery (CBS Series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_DiscoveryQ (James Bond Character)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(James_Bond)Q (Star Trek Character)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(Star_Trek)Dr Who × Star Trek Crossover: Assimilation2- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation/Doctor_Who:_Assimilation2Other Star Trek Crossovers- Star Trek × X-Men - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek/X-Men- Star Trek × Planet of the Apes : The Primate Directive - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek/Planet_of_the_Apes:_The_Primate_Directive- Star Trek × Transformers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_vs_TransformersEpic Games vs Steam: Which service is better- https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/4/18124203/epic-games-fortnite-valve-steam-game-store-distribution-unreal-engineHumble Bundle partnering with GoG- https://www.gog.com/wishlist/galaxy/humble_bundle_intergrationGoG Connect- https://www.gog.com/connect4A Games (Studio behind Metro Series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4A_GamesStar Citizen Lawsuit- https://techraptor.net/content/star-citizens-crytek-lawsuit-might-be-coming-to-a-close-soonHarvest Moon (Super Nintendo Game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_Moon_(video_game)Stardew Valley game screenshot- https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/413150/ss_980472fb4f4860639155880938b6ec292a0648c4.jpg?t=1544807843Stardew Valley SoundtrackWiki - https://stardewvalleywiki.com/SoundtrackFull Soundtrack now on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfATf-aMvbABobby Vinton – Mr. Lonely- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djU4Lq_5EaMFallout 76 Premium leather jacket- https://gear.bethesda.net/products/vault-76-premium-leather-jacketSpecial Remembrances- Space Shuttle Challenger disaster - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disaster- Matt Rose (Make up artist for Hellboy & Ed Wood) - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/matt-rose-dead-makeup-artist-hellboy-ed-wood-was-53-1180670- Dick Miller (Gremlins & Terminator actor) - https://variety.com/2019/film/news/dick-miller-dead-dies-gremlins-terminator-1203124265/Tim Cook blames China for weak iPhone sales- https://www.thewrap.com/tim-cook-apple-china-iphone-sales-weak/Fallout Nuka Dark Rum Review- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9naBulH2e9sThirty-nine cent stamp of Hattie McDaniel- https://www.mysticstamp.com/pictures/stamps_default/USA-3996.jpgShoutouts29 Jan 1845 – Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven was published New York Evening Mirror - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raven16 Jan 1974 – 45th anniversary of the Rubik’s cube invention - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube29 Jan 1980 – 39th anniversary of the Rubik’s cube’s international debut at the Ideal Toy Corp. in Earl's Court, London - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube30 Jan 1969 - The Beatles last performance on Apple records rooftops - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles%27_rooftop_concertRemembrances30 Jan 1948 - Orville Wright, US aviation pioneer, dies of cardiac arrest at 76 in Dayton, Ohio - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers30 Jan 1991 - John Bardeen, American physicist, electrical engineer and co-inventor of the transistor (Nobel 1956, 1972), dies of heart disease at 82 in Boston, Massachusetts - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bardeen31 Jan 1956 - A.

One of the greatest mysteries in biology, until 1991, was how water moves across cell membranes. Today’s episode focuses on the history of the discovery of aquaporins, or proteins that act as water channels in cell membranes. My guest is Peter Agre, recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of aquaporins. Among many other honors and leadership roles across his career, Peter became a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2000 and served as President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science from 2009-2010. He is the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology and in the School of Medicine at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Peter is also the Director of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute.
