Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #32307: Biotech Among the Stars: The Next Frontier with SPNR2

SPNR2 builds on the work of SPNR1 by extending biotech experiments to focus on how proteins fold and how diseases might be tackled using microgravity. Led by a collaboration of European and Israeli researchers, SPNR2 delves into the core of molecular biology. In space, proteins often fold differently, which can reveal how diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s develop. Understanding this could help create better drugs and treatments. The ISS becomes a kind of floating biotech lab where scientists can uncover secrets hidden by Earth’s gravity. With SPNR2, we’re one step closer to understanding life at its most fundamental level, in the most extreme environment.
