UPRM continues to take Puerto Rican science beyond Earth, showcasing the talent, dedication, and innovation that define our community. 💚 From groundbreaking research to new discoveries in space biotechnology, Colegial excellence continues to make its mark on the world.

Research led by Dr. Maribella Domenech García, professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (RUM), continues to generate significant results after becoming the first stem cell research project from a Puerto Rican university to reach the International Space Station in 2024. The team developed and validated a method to preserve and transport stem cells attached to microcarriers, allowing them to survive freezing, cultivation in microgravity, and their return to Earth. 🚀

This research has led to a patent application and publications in the scientific journals Stem Cell Research & Therapy and Nature Microgravity. In addition, the project received a new grant of approximately $500,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF), which will support further research into the changes stem cells undergo under microgravity conditions and their potential therapeutic applications. As part of this next phase, the team is preparing for a second space mission projected for 2027, which will involve sending between 30 and 40 million mesenchymal stem cells.

From Puerto Rico, RUM continues to take research and innovation to new horizons.🔬
