Part 11/18:
Current dialogues focus on tailored research: working with pharma clients to identify specific drugs that can benefit from space-induced microgravity effects. These collaborations involve testing how particular molecules behave in space, with the goal of creating new, more effective formulations. Interestingly, Varda operates as a "space pharmaceuticals" company, combining aerospace engineering with advanced biochemistry—each discipline enriching the other.
The industry sees this as an extension of traditional pharmaceutical R&D, but now with a literal new dimension—microgravity—as a tool for innovation.
