Description
Biomedical & Biotechnology Benefits from Space
• Nearly 50 years of R&D translated to diagnostics and care
• Focus on surviving and living in space
• Many space related issues mimic terrestrial chronic disease
• Osteoporosis, muscle-wasting disease, neuro-vestibular alterations, etc
• And the environment of space (microgravity) presents as an ideal model for investigations
• 3D tissue structures, altered gene expression, enhanced cellular responses to altered environment
• Many other opportunities to be discovered
• Translation to health and healthcare is just emerging
