What if the future of drug discovery isn't on Earth? In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent is joined by Aqeel Shamsul, the visionary CEO and co-founder of Frontier Space, a UK-based space biotech company developing shoebox-sized biolabs to unlock the power of microgravity for pharmaceutical R&D. Spun out of Aqeel's PhD at Cranfield University, Frontier Space is on a mission to make in-space research and biomanufacturing accessible, affordable, and impactful, and they've already achieved what few startups can: bootstrapping two space missions and securing over £1.3M in non-dilutive grant funding.

This recording accompanies a presentation I gave on the Rest Less Platform on 12 January 2026. You can also use the introduction and three short lessons for your own learning and explorations. The recording includes: A16 minute Introduction: from 0 to around 16 minutes A 16 minute Lesson 1 Rolling to Sitting (start): From 16.30 minutes to 33 minutes An 8 minute Lesson 2 Non-Dominant Hand : From 33 minutes to 41 minutes A 13 minute Lesson 3 Step in, Step out, Step over: From 41 minutes to 54 minutes   Here is how the presentation was introduced: Better Bones - The Anatomy of Movement How Form Follows Function: What Astronauts, Wolves and Antifragility Teach Us (12th January) Explore how lifespan bone strength is shaped by movement, gravity, and challenge—in this engaging and interactive session led by Jill Wigmore-Welsh MSc HCPC, CEO & Healthy Bone-Span Expert at OsteoProSisters. You'll discover: How 1970s Spacelab research changed everything- the dramatic impact of gravity on bone health Why Wolves matter—the physiological law bones follow at every age How bones respond to life's pressures - fragile systems break down, antifragile ones grow stronger—even in the face of stress and uncertainty Join us for a friendly, interactive session designed for all abilities. Take away a clearer understanding of the relationship between gravity, bones, antifragility and simple strategies you can start using every day to future-proof your frame and move with confidence for life.   If you want to send me a message to update how you got on, you can email me through my website: EMAIL:
