The Boston Globe reported that the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center has launched a contest for companies interested in testing drugs and devices or doing early stage research aboard the International Space Station.
As quoted in the market news:
The contest — applications will be accepted from Dec. 1 to April 3 — will award one or more companies a total of $500,000 to run their experiments in the space station’s low-gravity lab.
In an appearance at the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts officials said the project shows the state’s commitment to the life sciences industry is paying off.
‘Massachusetts-based companies will have a unique opportunity to access the International Space Station, a one-of-a kind platform for applied- research projects that will help bring new therapies and cures to market,’ said Susan Windham-Bannister, head of the Life Sciences Center.
