Synthetic cell membranes invented at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), a research institute of Singapores Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), may improve the way we identify and develop drugs by speeding up and reducing the cost of the drug screening process. The technology earned a spot as one of the twelve finalists in the Asian Innovation Awards 2011 organized by the Wall Street Journal Asia.
