NASA's SpaceX Crew-8 is taking Rochester’s Nanodropper eyedropper adapter to the International Space Station on the Endeavor ship when it launches from the Kennedy Space Center on March 1.
Mayo Clinic is now contracting with Rochester-based Nanodropper, which won Minnesota’s top business pitch competition in 2021. That means local people wanting to buy the specialty eyedropper product can get it directly from Mayo Clinic’s Rochester optical offices.
Allisa Song, a Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine student, and her husband, Elias Baker, learned that the standard delivery of eye medications was wasteful and potentially harmful to patients.
