yuri is a space biotech company that uses the microgravity environment of space to develop and manufacture superior biotech products. The team of 30+ space engineers and biologists has worked on 20+ payloads for the International Space Station in collaboration with organizations like NASA, ESA, GSK, Charit&eacute; Berlin. We develop modular bioreactors and incubators for cell cultures, protein crystals or plants and launch them for scientists around the world to the ISS and other spacecraft such as Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser or SpaceX Dragon. We also sell and rent devices to simulate microgravity on Earth, namely our Random Positioning Machine (RPM) and our Clinostat.
