Space and Biotech workshop
CEO Ariel Ekblaw led a Space Biotech Summit at MIT on April 24, pulling in the best of the Boston biotech scene and microgravity research platforms, with Aurelia Foundry and E2MC (Earth-to-Mars Capital).
Microgravity-enabled tissue development and protein crystallization processes, among several other therapeutic research areas, offer a compelling use of space for the immediate benefit of life on Earth. It’s time to scale up our facilities in orbit to take the early learnings from NASA and ISSNL and move into a domain of high throughput manufacturing for a range of products, including examples like artificial retinas from LambdaVision, Inc. Our team at Aurelia Institute is working on the infrastructure and space architecture R&D to enable these facilities.
Museum of Science - Meet a Scientist
At Boston’s Museum of Science on April 24, VP for Engineering Annika Rollock participated in a “Meet a Scientist” event, giving an audience of 70 families an introduction to space architecture and TESSERAE self-assembling tiles.
