Microgravity

Better drug carriers, made in microgravity

Our goal is a better way of manufacturing drug-delivery systems, particularly for cancer treatments, with more predictable drug loading, improved consistency and potentially higher production volumes.

Why it matters

  • More consistent drug loading and more predictable doses
  • Fewer empty carriers in each batch
  • Less reliance on slow mechanical processing
  • Better batch-to-batch consistency at scale

We are not testing whether drugs work better in space. We are testing whether microgravity allows us to manufacture better drug-delivery capsules.
