This unique research environment holds significant potential but is not well understood by the Life Sciences sector.This event aims to provide clarity, advice and ‘myth-busting’ insights that explain the benefits of Microgravity and encourage participants to co-create ideas and approaches for conducting research in this domain. About the event:We are delighted to invite you to a unique event exploring the value, opportunity, and emerging potential of conducting Life Science research in Microgravity. As interest in Microgravity-enabled research accelerates, this event will bridge the current academic, commercial, and regulatory gaps between the space and life science sectors. This event will:<ul><li>Demystify microgravity research through expert insights and myth-busting sessions, highlighting the scientific benefits of this unique environment.</li><li>Enable co-creation, giving participants the opportunity to develop concepts and approaches for conducting research in microgravity.</li><li>Map the UK innovation landscape, identifying organisations and activities already engaged in microgravity Life Science research.</li><li>Promote future Space/Life Science sector collaboration for Microgravity Life Sciences, fostering synergies across industry and academia.</li><li>Showcase the roles of UK Space Clusters and Health Innovation Networks in supporting microgravity enabled Life Science innovation.</li></ul> Why Attend?You can help shape the emerging Microgravity Life Science economy as Europe moves toward sovereign access to this environment through new launchers, free-flyers, and bio-research platforms. Who Should Attend?We welcome companies from across the UK, particularly from the South-East, East of England, Wales, and the North-West. Attendees will include innovators and leaders from academia, biotech, pharma, and the wider Life Science community.We also welcome companies with strong Microgravity potential including:<ul><li>Immunology &amp; Immuno-Oncology: Autoimmunity, cell-based therapies, immune-circuit stress testing</li><li>Geroscience &amp; Immune Ageing: Ageing biology, neurodegeneration, resilience biomarkers, cardiomyocyte studies</li><li>Advanced Modalities &amp; Bioprocessing: Biologics, gene and cell therapy, crystallisation, VLP/AAV quality attributes, in-space biomanufacturing</li><li>Organoids &amp; Organ-on-Chip: BBB, gut, kidney, and brain models—towards tissue engineering, bioprinting, and regenerative medicine</li></ul> We look forward to welcoming you to this event.For further information, please contact: <a href="mailto:Vivian.Bolarinwa-Ojo@stfc.ac.uk" title="mailto:Vivian.Bolarinwa-Ojo@stfc.ac.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Vivian.Bolarinwa-Ojo@stfc.ac.uk</a>Beyond Earth Network (UK-BEN) Project Manager<a href="mailto:Charlie@plastron.uk" title="mailto:Charlie@plastron.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Charlie@plastron.uk</a>Operations Director<a href="mailto:Stuart.Catchpole@spaceeast.co.uk" title="mailto:Stuart.Catchpole@spaceeast.co.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stuart.Catchpole@spaceeast.co.uk</a>Regional Director
