The project, Space-Enabled Oncology: Microgravity as a Catalyst for Therapeutic Discovery and Economic Growth, aims to establish commercial microgravity research capability in Australia.

By creating a sovereign end-to-end service for microgravity research, Cambrian and its partners will remove barriers to oncology research in space.

The project has the potential to unlock affordable access to microgravity environments, enabling Australian scientists to conduct advanced biomedical research in microgravity, accelerating the development of new cancer therapies and treatments.
