Health from Space, new edition and once again, a real pleasure! After taking part last year in a round table on bridging the gap between healthcare and space industries, this year I had the opportunity to moderate a panel on neurodegenerative diseases and aging, with some brilliant experts. Thanks to the organizers for this incredible event. So many topics were covered, and if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that space is full of opportunities for innovation in healthcare. See you next year!

Today was the last day of this edition of Health from Space, which brought together 80 international space and pharma key players from the industrial, academic and institutional sectors. A big congratulations to the organizers for the quality of the conferences and discussions. It was indeed impressive to see how microgravity accelerates the aging of cells — opening a new approach for pre-clinical studies, but also for gene and cell therapy — and how the bio-production of chemical drugs is also impacted by microgravity, which offers interesting crystallization and stability even once back on earth. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the next revolution in these industries.

The Health from Space conference brought together stakeholders from the space sector but also very substantially from the life sciences sector. This is precisely the type of event we need! Also to be commended is ESA for supporting this event at a senior level, with Director General Josef Aschbacher as well as three other directors present in person, and MEDES (Institute for Space Medicine and Physiology). Together we will build this ecosystem!
