RESULTS: Combating Antimocrobial Resistance. Our 01/13/26 publication with University Of Wisconsin-Madison Department Of Biochemistry shows T7 phages (virus) that evolved on the ISS were sent back to Earth and found to be more effective in both nature and speed to kill e.coli bacteria that causes unirinary tract infections (UTI). This particular e.coli causing UTI infection is typically resistant to the T7 phage. ✨️Our findings are the new methodologies needed to combat drug-resistant infections and microbes less susceptible to traditional antibiotics.
🚀The Rhodium Scientific team was critical in developing scientific methodology for spaceflight experimentation, translation of laboratory protocols for space operation, science quality assurance, pre-flight testing, and in-orbit operations necessary to acheive these relults. Our collaboration with Dr. Raman and his team was effective, efficient, fun, and most of all, rewarding.
