<p>Membrane science is still an important research area in biology and medicine. This interface between the cell&#8217;s interior and its environment is crucial in many aspects of biology. One key discovery is that of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaporin">aquaporin</a> by Peter Angre in 2003. This discovery won him the <a href="http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/2003/public.html">Nobel prize in Chemistry</a> together with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roderick_MacKinnon">Roderick Mckinnon</a>, who worked on the structure and mechanism of potassium channels. </p>
