Microgravity is the environment.
Biology is the question.
Microgravity is an experimental environment, not a presumed therapeutic benefit.
Crystal growth under altered transport conditions for structural studies.
Cell behaviour, differentiation and mechanobiology under altered gravity.
EV and secretome production and characterisation under altered gravity.

BIOTESC provides deep experience in the scientific, technical and operational preparation and support of life-science experiments for space missions.
ISRO's iMEx-2026 programme provides an example of India's staged approach to microgravity experiments, covering space biology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, materials and in-space manufacturing. Its published 2026 submission deadline has passed; future participation depends on subsequent opportunities and eligibility.
