Why study our artificial retina protein in space?
Microgravity reduces forces such as sedimentation & convection that can affect production on Earth.
Our latest orbital mission is helping us study the protein in orbit & advance future quality-control approaches.

We’re heading back to space!
Today, we launch aboard @SpaceX-35 to the @ISS_CASIS w/ longtime partner @space_tango.
This is our 10th ISS mission; we’re continuing to advance the microgravity manufacturing processes behind our artificial retina.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we recognize the importance of listening to & learning from lived experience.
“Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change” is a reminder that progress requires people to have a voice in decisions that affect them.

Margaret Hamilton’s pioneering work helped make the Apollo missions possible & laid the foundation for generations of space innovation.
As we advance space-based research to benefit life on Earth, we honor her extraordinary legacy.
We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…
ALT Margaret Hamilton is reclined inside a NASA spacecraft module, surrounded by control panels and switches.
On #WorldSightDay, we’re reminded why our work begins and ends w/ patients.
LambdaVision is developing a protein–based artificial retina designed to restore meaningful vision for people affected by retinal degenerative diseases.
#LoveYourEyes #SpaceBasedResearch
LambdaVision is onsite at #IAC2026 in Antalya, Türkiye.
On 10/6, CEO @NicoleWagnerPhD will discuss microgravity research & biotech manufacturing, drawing on our 9 ISS missions. Then, on 10/7, an IAF panel exploring the future of space manufacturing, biotech & advanced materials.
It’s World Space Week!
After 9 missions to the ISS, LambdaVision continues exploring how microgravity can advance the manufacturing of our artificial retina. Last week, that work took another step forward w/ our first mission beyond the ISS.
#WorldSpaceWeek
October is World Blindness Awareness Month. LambdaVision is advancing our artificial retina designed to restore meaningful vision for patients w/ retinal degenerative diseases, including RP & AMD. Learn more: lambdavision.com/our-therape…
#BlindnessAwarenessMonth
A new chapter for LambdaVision.
After 9 ISS missions, our protein is headed to orbit on our first mission beyond the ISS w/ Helogen.
The mission will help evaluate bacteriorhodopsin in microgravity and inform future space-based quality-control approaches.
LambdaVision will be attending #IAC2026 in Antalya, Türkiye, Oct. 5–9.
We look forward to connecting w/ the global space community & discussing what’s next for space-based research & manufacturing.
Stay tuned: lnkd.in/etRvFsK2
5 days to go!
The final countdown to IAC 2026 Antalya has begun. The global space community is getting ready to meet in Antalya.
See you soon!

On #WorldRetinaDay, we recognize those affected by retinal degenerative diseases & those working toward solutions.
Earlier this month, Jordan Greco, PhD, & Sampriti Ramakrishnan continued our preclinical studies at Powered Research, an important step toward clinical development.
LambdaVision is featured in a new @Reuters story exploring the next phase of pharmaceutical & biotech manufacturing in space alongside @Merck, @vast, @Axiom_Space, @Varda & others.
The article highlights our 9 ISS missions & artificial retina research.

This National Aerospace Week, we’re celebrating the innovation making new possibilities in space & on Earth a reality.
Through 9 missions to the @ISS_CASIS, we have seen firsthand what’s possible when aerospace, biotechnology, & healthcare come together.
9 missions to the ISS have helped us demonstrate how microgravity can improve the protein thin films at the core of our artificial retina.
Thank you @ISS_CASIS for highlighting our progress & the potential of space-based manufacturing.

Microgravity to improve the production of artificial retinas designed to restore vision?
@LambdaVision developed an artificial retina made of hundreds of layers of a light-sensitive protein to help restore vision loss caused by macular degeneration: ow.ly/XLRp50ZHYSL
This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the people behind the progress.
Thank you to the LambdaVision team, whose hard work & dedication help move science & innovation forward every day.
It was a pleasure being part of the SEDC!
Presenting her perspectives on biotech & space, our CEO, @NicoleWagnerPhD, connected w/ economic development leaders.
Thank you, Alexander Holt of @seraphim_space & Bryan Farlow of Strategic Location Advisors for the invitation.
LambdaVision is expanding its microgravity research!
An upcoming October mission with Helogen will mark our first flight on an autonomous orbital platform beyond the ISS, building on knowledge gained through 9 previous missions.
