The Future of Biomanufacturing in Space: A Unique Opportunity

This is a past event.

Dr. William Wagner, director of the University of Pittsburgh’s McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, will participate in a fireside chat on biomanufacturing in space during the International Space Station Research and Development Conference (ISSRDC). This virtual session will take place on August 3, 2021 at 1:30pm.  

The discussion will focus on the value of space-based biomanufacturing and the critical role of the orbiting laboratory in advancing this research area. Biomanufacturing is the use of biological and nonbiological materials to produce commercially relevant biomolecules and biomaterials for use in preclinical, clinical, and therapeutic applications.  

In 2020, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), manager of the International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory, hosted a Biomanufacturing in Space Symposium together with the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The symposium brought together thought leaders in the areas of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and space-based research. The goal of the symposium was to identify the most promising opportunities to leverage the ISS for research and development (R&D) to advance space-based biomanufacturing.

The ISSRDC session will be moderated by Gary Rodrigue, CASIS director of programs and partnerships. Dr. Wagner and Rodrigue will discuss outcomes from the symposium and how the ISS National Lab is uniquely positioned to enable R&D to drive a robust biomanufacturing market in low Earth orbit. 

ISSRDC 2021 is free to attend, although registration is required. To learn more about ISSRDC, view the latest agenda and speakers, and register, please visit www.issconference.org
