Certain drugs are harder to make on Earth than they should be. Gravity prevents the molecules from forming correctly. The treatments patients receive are less effective than the science allows.

Israel solved this in 2012 by taking the lab off the planet entirely.

Space Pharma operates a remotely controlled laboratory the size of a shoebox orbiting Earth right now manufacturing medicines in zero gravity that cannot be produced any other way. Founder Yossi Yamin explains how it works and what it means for the next generation of cancer treatment.
