Pharma & Health

Disrupt drug development & health innovation with microgravity. With Yuri, pharma and health companies use microgravity to obtain better structures, more predictive 3D models, and unique datasets. De-risking novel modalities and creating defensible differentiation in crowded therapeutic areas.

Microgravity redefining drug discovery

Core engine of R&D innovation

Space-based disease models let you see biology that gravity hides. In microgravity, cells, tissues and organoids reorganize, age faster or behave more aggressively, revealing mechanisms, pathways and drug responses that are extremely hard to access with conventional in-vitro or animal models on Earth.

From single mission to scalable program: Yuri’s CRO services cut process costs while you scale.

Large Scale Drug Screening

Microgravity drug screening that reveals winners and failures earlier

Pre-clinical Toxicity Testing

Sharper toxicity profiles under microgravity stress

Organoid Production

Microgravity-grown organoids to power regenerative medicine

Why working with Yuri?

Pharma & health need differentiated therapies while R&D stays expensive and risky. Microgravity offers new ways to screen drugs, test toxicity and grow organoids – Yuri makes this accessible as your microgravity CRO and platform partner.

High-risk, high-cost R&D

Late failures are costly; Yuri’s microgravity disease and organoid models provide more accurate efficiency and toxicity results earlier.

Unclear “why space?” value

Budgets need a clear business case; we co-design studies around specific drug-discovery questions and measurable pipeline impact.

Scalable programs

Isolated space pilots don’t scale; with Yuri’s standardized platforms and services, each study builds a reusable microgravity capability for your portfolio.
