About
Scientific Discovery in Orbit:
A Town Hall on Harnessing Microgravity to Accelerate Discoveries on Earth - How the Space Environment is Transforming Translational Research.
This month's program focuses on the Sanford Integrated Space Stem Cell Orbital Research Center (ISSCOR), a cutting-edge laboratory designed to perform experiments aboard the International Space Station, harnessing the power of sustained microgravity in low-Earth orbit. Scientists with ISSCOR utilize this unique environment to study stem cell aging rapidly without requiring lengthy and expensive clinical trials involving humans on Earth. Understanding the process of aging is not only useful in keeping astronauts healthy - it could also teach us how to prevent the effects of aging on Earth. You're welcome to attend online or in person; registration is requested.
If you join us on the UC San Diego campus, stay after the presentation and enjoy lunch with us!
