What if the cure for Parkinson’s isn’t just here on Earth — but also in space?
In this powerful episode of Wellness at the Speed of Light, I sat down with two extraordinary women shaping the future of medicine:
Dr. Jeanne Loring, a world-renowned stem cell researcher
Jenifer Raub, President of Summit for Stem Cell and a Parkinson’s patient-turned-advocate
Dr. Loring has developed lab-grown brain organoids—tiny but powerful models of the human brain. Through a groundbreaking collaboration with NASA, her team sent these engineered neurons to space to study how microgravity affects brain aging.
The results? Neurons age faster in space. A discovery that could change everything we know about Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases.
This research is personal for Jenifer Raub. After hearing Dr. Loring speak, she made it her mission to fund this work—raising millions and giving hope to patients worldwide.
This is what happens when science, purpose, and persistence collide. And it’s only the beginning.
