'Life in Space for Life on Earth', Trieste, Italy
13 June 2010 - 13 June 2010
Italy
A six-day joint life science meeting on research results in space and gravitational biology, physiology and experimental medicine, entitled 'Life in Space for Life on Earth', will be held in Trieste, Italy from 13 to 18 June 2010.
The European Space Agency (ESA), the International Society for Gravitational Physiology (ISGP), the Italian Society for Space Biomedicine and Biotechnology (ISSBB) and the European Low Gravity Research Association (ELGRA) are sponsoring the event. Prospective topics to be covered include:
- 'The effects of changes in magnitude and direction of the force environment on the physiology and behaviour of humans, animals plants and cells';
- 'The effects of weightlessness during spaceflight';
- 'Acute and chronic acceleration';
- 'Impact, vibration and the various forms of simulated evolutionary consequences of gravity';
- 'The role of gravity in the manifestation of scale effects in animals and plants';
- 'Hypergravity and other countermeasures to microgravity';
- 'Simulation of Lunar/Mars habitat';
- 'Altered gravity effects for experimental medicine';
- 'Translational research: from space research to population benefit'.
The International Countermeasures Working Group (ICM) will host a workshop at the conference. The ICM provides a forum for the coordination of activities and exchange of research information directly related to new countermeasure research on Earth. This research is focused not only on bed rest, but also other ground-based analogs, animal models and various other available research platforms.For further information, please click:
