Our Space Paper is Out!

Last year Mr. Eytan Stibbe was the second Israeli astronaut to exit Earth. Eytan conducted many experiments during his stay at the International Space Station, and one of them was ours! He tested the functionality of the CRISPR-Cas12a-based molecular detection system. This system involves two enzymatic reactions, and now we can report that the system works very well in microgravity, opening the door for developing Cas12a-based diagnostics kits for astronauts!
