Manifest Space: Medication in Microgravity with Varda Co-Founders Will Bruey and Delian Asparouhov 8/31/23
As Medicare looks to drive down medical costs, pharma manufacturing is going beyond global. For years, drug companies have used the ISS to research and develop new discoveries. But until Varda successfully completed a 27-hour experiment in orbit growing a drug used to help treat HIV. Waiting on a reentry license for its first spacecraft, Morgan sits down with co-founders Will Bruey and Delian Asparouhov to discuss in-space manufacturing, hypersonic missile testing, and (unofficially) replicating LK-99—speculated to be a potential superconductor.
