space drug development

Space drug development involves creating medications designed to address health challenges associated with space travel, such as muscle atrophy, bone loss, and radiation exposure. Researchers study how microgravity affects the human body and develop drugs or therapies to counteract these effects. These innovations can also benefit Earth-based medicine. The process includes laboratory research, testing in space environments, and clinical trials, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Ultimately, space drug development aims to support long-term space missions and improve healthcare solutions both in space and on Earth.
