BiologIC CEO Richard Vellacott said proving what is possible in space could change elements of life on earth "It'll have to cope with the pressures and heat of leaving earth in a rocket," says Mr Vellacott, "and of course in microgravity, liquids float, so we'll have to come up with a way of containing them".
"It's really difficult on earth to study the effects of ageing because it takes so long but in space our cells age faster, and so this kind of research can be done quicker up there and potentially speed up new treatments," he says.
