NZ research on International Space Station to develop medicine, vaccine

Wellington, Mar 22 (UNI) New Zealand scientists have launched protein research on the International Space Station to develop more effective medicines and vaccines.
Sarah Kessans from the University of Canterbury developed the hardware to operate autonomously in orbit, allowing scientists on Earth to study the ways proteins crystallize in microgravity and to use their insights to develop more effective medicines and vaccines among other applications.
Kessans' research was launched on Friday (New Zealand time) on a rocket from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, the United States. It was accompanied by protein experiments from New Zealand's Canterbury, Otago, Victoria and Waikato universities.
