Research - Space Medicine

With new funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the TSI Lab is investigating the vascular biology of “mice from space”, or rather mice that have spent time at the international space station (ISS). This research will provide insight into what physiological effects time in outer space might have on astronauts, with potentially important implications for future longer-term missions, and has the possibility to open the door to fascinating new discoveries that could be used in earth-bound cardiovascular research.
