We're proud to be featured by @ISS_CASIS!
LambdaVision is developing a protein-based artificial retina designed to restore vision for patients with RP & AMD. Through 9 ISS missions, we've shown how microgravity can improve the layer-by-layer manufacturing of these protein films.

LambdaVision is partnering w/Helogen Corporation on a new LEO manufacturing mission, our 1st planned flight beyond the ISS.
The partnership began through conversations at @boryung_corp HIS challenge & supports production of our artificial retina.

Appreciate @FightBlindness spotlighting RP, a disease that progressively impacts vision from an early age.
At LambdaVision, we’re developing our artificial retina to restore meaningful vision for patients with RP & other retinal diseases.

Spotlight on Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) 👁️🗨️
Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited retinal disease often diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. It typically starts by affecting the retina’s rod photoreceptors — the cells that help us see at night and in our peripheral vision. As RP progresses, people may experience symptoms like night blindness and tunnel vision.
Through the support of our community, researchers are advancing promising work to bring treatments and cures for RP forward.
Learn more about RP and the progress being made: FightingBlindness.org/diseas…
