SETAC 9th World Congress: Muthumuni Managa Presents Photodynamic Porphyrin Conjugates for Water Treatment

Muthumuni Managa presented groundbreaking research on creating a new line of defense against polluted water. The presentation, “Photodynamic Activity of Novel Porphyrin Conjugates Against Bacteria in Water,” introduced an innovative approach — using special light-activated molecules (porphyrin conjugates) to destroy harmful bacteria in water sources. Think of it as a sustainable, chemical-free way to clean … Continued
