Our work can be applied to medicine, where we reduce clot formation or the onset of infection; to industry, where we mitigate fouling of membranes and other surfaces to help keep people healthy. Through the development of these technologies, we also strive to understand the basic science behind biological surface interactions to provide a basis for future technologies and applications.https://umaine.edu/howelllab/wp-content/uploads/sites/131/2024/09/Filled-leaf-e1725564560929.jpg587415
