How feasible are drug factories in space?

In orbit, in microgravity, it is possible to conduct research that cannot be done on Earth, for example, print 3D structures from living cells. Will drugs or replacement organs be manufactured in space? Dr. Piotr Kaczmarek-Kurczak from the Kozminski University talks about the possibilities.
