Episode notes
Can space help us live longer, healthier lives?
In this bonus episode of Outer Orbit, host Dallas Campbell is joined by Dr Martin Braddock, founder of GENIXICONSULTING and biopharma expert, to explore the cutting edge of space health innovation. From the surprising benefits of microgravity for drug development to the plausibility of human hibernation on long-duration space missions, their conversation covers the science fiction-sounding breakthroughs that are becoming science fact.
They delve into research on cellular ageing in space, the potential for torpor as a medical tool, and why structural biology in orbit could transform pharmaceutical pipelines on Earth. Braddock brings decades of experience and a unique perspective on how space could revolutionise healthcare.
