In the fifth episode of the ‘Ganado Meets
Transport' podcast, Daniel Aquilina,
partner within the transport law practice at Ganado Advocates,
meets Kristian Zarb Adami, a pioneer in
Malta's space sector.
Kristian Zarb Adami identifies two space-related projects that
were pioneered by Maltese individuals in recent
times. Project Maleth is a scientific programme
run in Malta by Joseph Borg of the Department of Biomedical
Sciences at the University of Malta's Faculty of Health
Sciences.
The purpose of this project is to understand whether there is
any change in the genetic composition of diabetic patients in space
and the effects of space on human blood and control of haemoglobin
expression. This was successfully launched to the International
Space Station on a SpaceX rocket.
