The world is facing great challenges in meeting the growing demand for clean water. Waterborne disease is a global burden which is estimated to cause more than 2.2 million deaths pear year and higher cases of illness every day, including diarrhea, gastrointestinal diseases and systematic illnesses. About 1.4 million of these deaths are children. Moreover, the rapid emergence of resistant bacteria is occurring worldwide, endangering the efficacy of antibiotics, which have transformed medicine and saved millions of lives. The development of composite membranes having antimicrobial properties has brought promising solutions for the microbial purification of water. One of my challenges here at IAMT is to develop membranes which provide clean, pathogen-free water while increasing membrane efficiency and prolonging its life-cycle.
