hosted by the IN-SPACE BIOMANUFACTURING FOR HUMAN HEALTH INNOVATION HUB
University of florida
In-Space Biomanufacturing for Human Health Innovation
The InSpa Bio Hub was established through the University of Florida’s strategic funding initiative. Led by Siobhan Malany, Ph.D., an associate professor in the UF College of Pharmacy, the hub will align researchers across the university to conduct astrobiology experiments in space and on the ground to reveal the significant effects of low gravity on biological systems.
