Why Your Next Cancer Drug Will Be Made in Space | And Why That's Genius

Jennifer Weissmann Season 5 Episode 67

A next generation factory has been in space since 2012. Elon Musk is just starting to develop drugs in space with StarFall.  What if the most revolutionary pharmaceutical factory wasn't in New Jersey—but 250 miles above your head?   What if your next cancer drug was manufactured in orbit and delivered to your living room? Israeli scientist Yossi Yamin reveals how Space Pharma, since 2012, has been crystallizing medicine in microgravity—creating treatments impossible on Earth.   In this mind-bending episode, we sit down with Yossi Yamin, founder of Space Pharma, the Israeli company that's literally manufacturing medicine in orbit. And no, this isn't science fiction. It's happening right now.  Large variety of life science experiments can be conducted in miniaturized, A remotely controlled fully automated labs based on a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology.

Here's what sounds impossible but isn't:

→ Cancer patients receiving treatments at home instead of hospitals—every 6 weeks instead of every 2 weeks

→ Drug crystals forming in microgravity that cannot physically exist on Earth

→ Human tissue organoids growing in space to test personalized medicine on YOUR cells before you take a single dose

→ Bacteria battles conducted from ground control to defeat superbugs without antibiotics

→ Europe's first orbital pharmaceutical factory producing millions of doses per year by the early 2030s

The secret? Crystallization.
