The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center and the Center for Advancement of Science in Space will host an information session in Worcester on January 22 for companies in central and Western Massachusetts to learn more about the Galactic Grant Competition, a collaboration between CASIS and the MLSC. The competition has been established to provide access to a unique zero-gravity environment to Massachusetts-based life sciences companies.

Speakers scheduled to attend the information session at Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives in Gateway Park include Angus McQuilken, Vice President for Marketing and Communications at MLSC, Cynthia Bouthot, Director of Business Development at CASIS and more. Check out the full itinerary here. 

The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) is an investment agency that supports life sciences innovation, research, development and commercialization. The MLSC is charged with implementing a 10-year, $1-billion, state-funded investment initiative. In 2011, NASA chose the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) to be the sole manager of the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory. The organization has been awarded by NASA the responsibility of inciting the imagination of entrepreneurs and scientists alike, accelerating and facilitating space-based research as well as creating public awareness of National Lab research and making space science more accessible to the world.
