International.
R-Crio also has strategic partnerships and international activities that contribute to cell therapies and the regenerative health market as a whole.
Cell cultivation in zero gravity.
In partnership with São Leopoldo Mandic, the University of Florida and the Michaellis Institute, R-Crio is sending stem cells into space. This study is the result of an institutional partnership with the Life Sciences Laboratory at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, where we studied the effects of low gravity on stimulating stem cell multiplication. In addition, we also seek to understand the physiological benefits and harms of low or no gravity on the cells of the human body.

“When we change and stop using chemical stimuli and start using physical stimuli, we expect to have purer cells that are more qualified to perform that same function, with greater potency. So, cells grown in microgravity environments are expected to require less chemical stimuli to perform the expected functions and, more than that, they are expected to have greater potential to perform that activity to function as a medicine, as a real medication, but biological in essence,” said José Ricardo, president of R-Crio, in an interview with G1 in November 2023.
Science Days events for young people in science.
As a result of the relationship built in 2017 with KSCIA and the Michaellis Foundation, R-Crio was invited in 2018 to participate in Science Days, an event for children and teenagers from public and private schools about the STEM fields of science (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Every year, R-Crio participates in nationwide events in Brazil, promoting early knowledge about longevity, cell biology and the future of medicine and regenerative dentistry.
