Sandro Pereira

As a cell biologist, Sandro has spent over two decades fascinated by the unique properties of stem cells and their potential to unlock a better understanding of conditions such as Parkinson's disease. That journey led him to an unexpected conclusion: some of medicine's most intractable problems may find their answers not in a conventional laboratory, but in orbit where microgravity accelerates biology in ways we cannot replicate on Earth. As Lead Scientist at Exobiosphere, he is helping turn that conviction into reality, developing automated high-throughput platforms that bring pharmaceutical-grade science into space. The company's mission is to use orbit not as a destination, but as a tool by compressing decades of drug discovery into months, and delivering cures from space to patients on Earth.
