Panel: From Orbit to Impact: Advancing Development in Orbit for Patients on Earth

Session details:

Processing materials in the near-weightless conditions found in space offers a unique environment that is impossible to replicate on Earth. 
Gravity impacts many chemical processes, including how we make medicines. Microgravity suppresses convective currents, buoyancy, and sedimentation, and the resulting crystals are more uniform in size and structure. Learn about the people and science working to bring novel pharmaceuticals from space to the clinic.
