Please note that we have a new site: LifeScienceHistory.com, "Where history is made daily" under development and
delayed by COVID-19, to be launched in 2023 replacing TexasLifeScience.com. Regrettably, we are working with reduced
staffing and the current industry directory is no longer being maintained, but will be replaced with a new and improved
directory upon the launch of the new site. We apologize for the inconvenience.

| | Company Description | Astrogenetix was formed by Astrotech Corporation to commercialize biotechnology products processed in the unique environment of microgravity. Through expertise gained by sending more than 1,500 NASA science experiments into space, Astrogenetix is exclusively positioned to help commercialize products derived from microgravity discoveries.
Astrogenetix’s primary research mission is to discover therapeutically relevant and commercially viable biomarkers in the microgravity environment of space. A biomarker is defined simply as a characteristic or "marker" of the state of a biological system or a biological process. These markers can be in the form of DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites or any other measurable biologic material. Through this method we expect to shorten the drug development timeframe and guide relevant therapeutics agents
(or diagnostics) into the clinical trial process more quickly and cost-effectively. | |
