UCSD Sanford Stem Cell Institute

Congratulations on a succesful splash down off the coast of San Diego @Axiom_Space 🚀 We're excited to dive in and see what we'll learn about our latest organoid payload around Rebecsinib #cancer #space #UCSD #UCSanDiego

Honored to have our research on @Space_Station in @jeffreykluger's@TIME piece. #Ax4 Cmdr @AstroPeggy: #Cancer "cells proliferate faster [in space], so in a very short period of time, you can give them a drug & see if it’s slowing them down." bit.ly/3I1Cql0 #medTwitter

We’re honored to have @Axiom_Space Mission 4 Commander Dr. @AstroPeggy working on our research in #space, including a study of #cancer “kill switch” Rebecsinib on 4 types of tumor organoids. #medTwitter #breastcancer #glioblastoma H/t @SpaceX

Today's view from the @Space_Station. Earth is absolutely stunning!

With @Axiom_Space and @SpaceX, we're now targeting Wednesday, June 25, to launch #Ax4 to the @Space_Station. The four-member crew, including astronauts from @ESA and @ISRO, is scheduled to lift off at 2:31am ET (0631 UTC). Learn more about the launch: go.nasa.gov/4k5gbbe

🚀 We have liftoff w/@Axiom_Space & @SpaceX on #Ax4! Excited to treat patient-derived tumor organoids w/Rebecsinib in 4 types of #cancer aboard @Space_Station. Learn more about our crucial scientific research @ bit.ly/45vRSQm #medTwitter #science
