Redwire&nbsp;recently supported a cancer therapy investigation led by Aspera Biomedicines (Aspera)&nbsp;that launched aboard the SpaceX Crew-12 mission to the&nbsp;ISS. Aspera and Redwire are using PIL-BOX to advance the development of Rebecsinib, an ADAR1 inhibitor. Results from the investigation have the potential to enable new drug formulations that will provide broader cancer treatment options.<\/p>\n<p>By supporting partners such as Aspera, Bristol Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly and Company, ExesaLibero Pharma, Purdue University, and Butler University, Redwire is helping drive a new era of biotechnology where microgravity unlocks insights that can improve treatments for some of the world\u2019s most challenging diseases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Redwire Corporation, a global leader in space and defense technology solutions, announced that NASA has awarded the company an additional $4 million to support new drug development investigations on the International Space Station (ISS) using Redwire\u2019s Pharmaceutical In-space Laboratory (PIL-BOX) technology.
