UF, Micro-gRx, and Ronawk Collaborate on Translational Research in Advanced Tissue Engineering Aboard the International Space Station

The National Science Foundation and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space have awarded $830,000 to the University of Florida, Micro-gRx, and Ronawk to launch an innovative tissue engineering experiment into space. The study will advance in-space, three-dimensional, cell culture processes and study the effects of microgravity on heart and skin vascular remodeling. The partners will work with Redwire Space Corporation to implement their experiment on the International Space Station, or ISS.
